The Seminar

The V.I.R.T.U.O.S.I.T.Y. Formula™ seminar.

The V.I.R.T.U.O.S.I.T.Y. Formula™ seminar is a one day seminar with the aim to remove the blocks that prevent you to express your potential to the maximum.

Achieving an “Effortless Hyper-performance” means creating a situation in which all components of the “artist system” (technical, psychological, emotional, spiritual) are aligned and allow the interpretative idea to manifest without any obstacles.
The techniques and exercises proposed are mediated by Neurolinguistic Programming, Fluxogenics, physical and mental training of top athletes and martial arts masters.
A concentrate of secrets that will bring your ability to unsuspected levels and allow for otherwise unthinkable progress.

The V.I.R.T.U.O.S.I.T.Y. Formula™ concentrates specifically on helping performers break through the mental barriers that are keeping them from singing or playing the way they know they can. We all know talented performers who play or sing great in practice or under normal circumstances, but when the pressure is on—in a high-stakes situation—they crumble or get so nervous it really affects their performance. When this happens at an important audition, competition, or concert it seems that all the preparation and practice has been for nothing. Are you one of those performers?
If so, you are not alone. Performing well under pressure is a learned skill!

The V.I.R.T.U.O.S.I.T.Y. Formula™ helps musicians identify and assess their unique challenges and strengths and helps performers learn the valuable mental skills that will enable them to perform at high levels.

Effortless Hyper-performance skills help musicians:

Eliminate limiting or ineffective beliefs that can keep them from reaching their full potential
Develop a strong and stable practice and performance confidence
Learn to focus on what’s most important in practice and performance
Deal with frustration, distractions, and doubts
Let go of mistakes and frustration
Use the positive characteristics of perfectionism and eliminate the unhealthy ones
Identify the fear that can keep them from performing their best
Set appropriate and effective goals
Use effective pre-performance routines to build confidence and focus
Incorporate mental rehearsal, imagery, and positive self-talk into preparation
Devise effective and efficient practice plans

SEMINAR PLAN

– Analysis of one’s musical personality

Model of mind and learning
Analysis of strategies
Current situation
Reasons
Submodalities
Analysis of emotions
Resources
Equivalent criteria
Metaprograms
Sensory channels
Values ​​and Beliefs
Analysis of strategies

One of the fundamental components of a high-level performance is a personalized program, and therefore self-knowledge is indispensable.
The most up-to-date discoveries of Neurophysiology, Fluxogenics and Neurolinguistic Programming will be used to get to know their winning strategies and their weaknesses, learning how to make the most of their resources.

– Goals setting

Values ​​Analysis
Choice of the goal
Evaluation of the motivation
Study planning
Choice of strategy
Choice of mental images
Evaluation parameters

It is useless to engage in something if you do not have a clear picture of what you want to achieve.
The choice of a specific objective and, above all, the awareness of what it represents for us (Meta objective) is the basis of any positive result, in music as in life.
Specific techniques, mediated by the most advanced managerial training courses, will be helpful for this task.

– Dynamic Relaxation and Multimodal Display

Dynamic relaxation
Breathing
Mind-body integration
Control of anxiety
Visualization
Emotional Adhesion Technique
Energy control
The “flow state”

The heart of our program. Through the techniques of body management and mental control contained in the ancient oriental martial disciplines, one can arrive at complete self-mastery, where the perfection of movement is not the result of brute effort or sterile repetition but the expression of control of their inner energy (the so-called ” Ki “). The Emotional Adhesion Technique, used by Samurai to reach inner peace during battles, allows you to learn how to manage your resources efficiently even in conditions of maximum stress.

– Improvement of mental techniques

Memory
Study and mental review
Time Distortion
Direct experience of an Effortless Hyper-performance

Using the techniques previously learned, one learns to make the best use of one’s own memory, verifying the possibility of studying without the need of the instrument, while the Time Distortion will prove to be very useful to review a whole concert program in a few minutes.

– The actual performance

Pre-execution procedures
Concentration in the present
Sensation of the cocoon

It is obvious that all previous work is aimed at concert performances. You will study here how to apply the new resources acquired on a personal level, in order to obtain an immediate benefit.
