Music is a mission and dedication to the process entirely. With your perseverance, commitment, and meticulous preparation, you will be able to achieve your goal, which is your brand. It will determine your career and how high you will go in improving your skills. Music is beautiful and subtle, so creation is what is outside and inside you. Music is a lifestyle that determines how you will become and how you will represent yourself. 

IAP Career College

Many musicians struggle with the problem of self-confidence, whether they are fit and good at what they do—having ways to practice self-confidence through the right approach to a song and knowing what is essential to your playing to support your confidence on stage—needed skill to cope during an exam or instrumental competition. It also includes familiarity with the stage and appropriate behavior on it.  

Transformation Academy

A teacher is a trainer who relies on his professional experience. Experience alone without knowing how the mentor imparts knowledge can only be a collection of one's life experiences. A professional approach as a mentor is an entirely different kind of cooperation, which aims to support the student's ideas through reflection on professional experience.

Leadership can be understood as a combination of skills, knowledge, and experience. It is leading and inspiring others to meaningful engagement and success. Leadership, according to Maxwell, is influence. Nothing more, nothing less. It is a person who has social impact, not authority or power. A leader is for you and only for other people. It is a way of being devoted to others. It is for others to profit and succeed; the leader will have it by having others. 

John Maxwell Team

I use coaching to communicate with students who need support on how to get down to practice and achieve high results. It is a form that allows to development of more resources for the student and does not impose specific schemes. Everyone is treated and understood individually, which develops their innate talent and directs them to areas needing development.
