OUR MISSION

The Art of Practicing Institute is dedicated to changing the culture of music education to allow musicians to fulfill their true potential and bring more powerful performances to their audiences. Through innovative, mindfulness-based teaching methods and up-to-date understanding of instrumental technique, our unique programs and products get to the root of musicians’ problems and help them reduce physical and mental tension, prevent and recover from practice-related injuries, eliminate dependence on drugs to combat performance anxiety, and perform with 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
