OUR MISSION

The Art of Practicing Institute is dedicated to helping musicians fulfill their true potential and give more powerful performances. Through innovative, mindfulness-based teaching methods and up-to-date instrumental technique, our teachers get to the root of musicians’ problems and help them prevent and recover from practice-related injuries, eliminate dependence on drugs to combat performance anxiety, and perform with natural ease, confidence, and expressive power.

“We all know that we have a heart and that it speaks sometimes,
but now we know how to access it.“

Lara Mitofsky Neuss, clarinetist, alum of San Francisco Conservatory of Music
