6. Laura Serra on performance psychology
Things Musicians Don't Talk About - A podcast by Hattie Butterworth & Rebecca Toal
Today I am talking to the pianist Laura Serra about her research whilst on the BSc in Performance Science at the Royal College of Music. She has since set up the initiative Coaching Musicians, which looks to support musicians psychologically. We talk about performance anxiety, what the concept of coaching actually is, the relationship between sports performance and music performance and the idea of being 'psychologically well', to describe a state of being, not necessarily the absence of mental illness. She also talks about her personal journey with yoga and how best to begin looking into mindfulness and meditation to support your mental health.Transcript of this episodeThings Musicians Don't Talk About website: https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.comTMDTA TwitterFacebookInstagramIf you would like to support our work, why not buy us a Kofi?
