The ACADEMY | PERCUSSION meets IDENTITY is founded upon a ground-breaking, dual, yet holistic concept: a proven, success-yielding combination of superlative musical education and intensive personal coaching – simply, PERCUSSION meets IDENTIY.
Success comes to those who apply themselves to self-improvement on multiple levels. We challenge you to take a major step forward by honing your musical and technical skills through direct tuition and guidance from outstanding musicians from the very highest echelons of the profession, as well developing your performance on stage, your body language and your artistic personality.
We invite you to come and explore the furthest reaches of your musicianship - even beyond your own perceived boundaries - during a highly intensive week of holistic training of the highest calibre. Expand your personal network and encounter no end of inspiring people amid glorious surroundings and in an atmosphere in which the individual couldn't be more highly valued!
Success begins in the mind! Thoughts, emotions and the competence to control your inner processes contribute to optimum performance.
Development of self-regulation techniques, relaxation capability, power of concentration and mental performance preparation.
Maintaining the ability to perform in stressful situations, retaining composure and confidence when under pressure and emerging fortified from it.
Learn to recognise, develop and strengthen your ability to remain balanced and effective when facing extraordinary challenges.
