Spring 2026 I am offering lectures and workshops in mental training for musicians within ÖrUS (Öresunds Unga Symfoniker). Young musicians will gain practical tools to manage stress, find inner motivation and develope a new way of thinking about their musical practice.
Why Mental Training? As a musician, you face unique challengest other professions rarely encounter. Performance anxiety, physical tensions in your body and the constant pressure to deliver can affect both your well-being and your artistic expression. Mental training provides you with concrete tools to handle these challenges and rediscover the joy in your music-making.
Through my work as a bassoonist in Malmö Symphony orchestra and as a university lecturer at the Academy of Music in Malmö, I have experienced firsthand how mental training can transform a musician´s relationship with performance and practice. The nervousness before concerts, the tense jaw, the self-critical thoughts-these are challenges I work with myself and understand deeply.
What will you learn? In my workshop, you will explore practical techniques based on proven methods from sports psychology, adapted specifically for musicians. We work with:
-Tools to manage performance anxiety and stress
-Techniques for sustainable practice habits
-methods to find inner motivation and joy in music
-Strategies to handle physical tension and build body awareness
-Ways to develop a constructive relationsship with perfectionism
The practice combines theory with hands-on exercises that you immediately apply in your daily musical life. My background as a certified ACC coach through International Coach Federation and certified mental trainer through Unestål Education ensures that you receive professional guidance grounded in both research and experience.
For Music Schools and Ensembles I tailor lectures and workshops to suit your ensemble or music school´s specific needs. Whether you want a one-time inspiration lecture or a series of deeper workshops, we can design a program together that creates lasting change for musicians.
