​ "Renée has a very detailed and well thought out approach to teaching mindful practicing techniques and performance strategies. I highly recommend this program if you’re looking to reenergize your practicing with new ideas and hone your performing/audition methods. The group was also very supportive and I met a lot of interesting people!"​

"Renée has brought incredible value to my life as a musician. With her sincerity she creates a safe space to grow. The support, knowledge and guidance she provides has deeply transformed my practice and my confidence as a violinist. Definitely the best investment of 2020!"

​ "Working with Renee is a wonderful experience. She puts a lot of time and effort in for the people in her program and has lots of wisdom to share. I feel like I can go to her with any issue I have and she will support me and help me through it. You should do this program because the concepts can also relate to how to deal with issues in life itself as well as in music. If you want to learn more about the process from sightreading that new piece all the way to performing it on stage, do it!!"

Emily Zwijack

Have you ever stood on stage and thought…

“What’s going on? Who’s this person playing?

Nothing feels good, nothing feels familiar!

Why am I so uncomfortable?

This sounded so great just yesterday!”

Or walked away saying to yourself...

“Well, that was a lot of work for a whole lot of nothing!

So many sacrifices for such an awful experience!

So many mistakes!  This is so disappointing!”

How about the frustrations in the practice room?

"I'm not sure what to do!  Where do I even begin?"

Feeling stuck, tensed, unfocused, inadequate, less-than.

And let’s not forget the confusion you experience when making decisions about your life and career.

Feeling lost and unsure.

Afraid to make the wrong choices and not sure what to do next.

We’ve all experienced those feelings of powerlessness and anger at some point or another.  In the practice room, in rehearsal, and in performances.

BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

"Working with and learning from Renée has been such a valuable experience for me in my musical life as well as my personal life. Each meeting leaves me with a renewed joy in practicing and understanding of mindfulness. I am consistently inspired by her genuineness and support."

Bella Kelly

"I worked with Renée in preparation for a major recital for which I was feeling strong anxiety.  She guided me through a comprehensive and completely doable plan of exercises and techniques in order to not only survive on stage, but thrive!

 

The result was a recital where I felt completely calm, joyful, connected to the music and my recital colleague. In short, I'd never felt so comfortable on stage before.

I have kept these techniques with me and they have continued to nourish my performances, giving me continued joy and connection in everything from intimate recitals to large-scale concerts.

 

Renée possesses the rare combination of insight, warmth and comprehensive understanding of the on-stage experience to take anyone's anxiety-ridden performances to a place of joy."

​

Laura Nerenberg

"Under Renée’s instruction, I have grown immensely as both a musician and a person. Renée has pushed me to constantly strengthen the finest technical details of my playing while adding deeper artistry to my performance, resulting in many successes.

 

The positive learning environment she creates has helped me gain greater confidence in myself as well as value the importance of patience and perseverance in pursuing my long-term goals.

 

Without question, I definitely would not be the musician that I am today without Renée!"

HEY THERE!

 

I’m Renée — a violinist, teacher, high-performance coach, clinician, and personal growth junkie!

 

I’m also the host of the Mind Over Finger Podcast and the mom of 2 vivacious little ones!

Renée-Paule_-_Monica_Ninker_Photography

I’m an active performer, teacher, and high-performance coach, and I help musicians develop the skills they need to practice and perform optimally and to rediscover their love and purpose for music-making!

 

The Music Mastery Experience is my passion project.  It grew out of my desire to help musicians of all levels develop the skills to practice more mindfully and achieve the results they want on stage and in life!

 

​To help my students raise their awareness and efficiency in the practice room, I brought together years of experience in the field with thorough academic research, and I developed a system which combines an effective deliberate practice frame with specific mindful mindsets, and I have seen the quality of my students’ performance improve.

 

In my studio and my online presence, my goal is to invite all musicians to pause and reflect before jumping into mindless action while practicing - to work in a more deliberate, purposeful and effective way, and realize that they can enjoy the process by bringing creativity in their problem-solving approach.

​

The art of practicing is so often associated with grueling, painful, unpleasant work - necessary evil to get from the starting point to the concert stage.

 

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

By being intentional, fully aware, and by feeling free to get as creative as we want in our practice, we can make practice itself become one of the most rewarding and fun parts of being a musician. And when the practicing part is handled this way, the performing soars like never before!

 

It is actually possible to get great results, progress rapidly, perform optimally, reap success, AND enjoy the process!

 

And I’m here to teach you how!

FAQ

How long before I start seeing results?

You will start seeing results RIGHT AWAY!  Many participants have amazing breakthroughs from the very first bonus session in April (that's BEFORE the program even start!!!).

​

Why a year (and beyond), if you say I’ll start seeing results right away? 

Because the momentum you’ll gain from the Summer Intensive will be so amazing, I want you to experience the incredible things you will create in your life when we keep that going!  A lot of things happen as we go about our life and things get in the way.  There’s going to be so many opportunities to fail and to quit, and so many circumstances that get in your way of being who you want to be.  And I'm going to be there for you to help you through every season of those! 

​

How present are you

I'm with you EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!  I give the trainings and live coachings, I'm present for the guest workshops, I show up every day in the Facebook group to answer any questions you have, and I make myself available to support you any time you need me.
