Overview
The Performance Wellness Workbook is a practical guide designed to help you utilize the concepts, techniques, and practices outlined in the Performance Wellness Manual systematically in your daily life to transform habitual stress reactions and negativity into new states of confidence, optimism and joy. The Performance Wellness Manual presents the Montello Method for Performance Wellness (PW), a multi-modal, research-based approach designed to offer performers, arts educators, creative arts therapists, and performing arts medicine practitioners a deeper understanding of the implications of stress in performance, as well as practical tools for allowing the mind-body to become a resilient "instrument" in the face of stressful situations. Integrating techniques from the fields of music therapy, neuropsychology and yoga science, the cornerstone of the PW approach is Essential Musical Intelligence, the innate ability to use music and sound to bypass the limitations of the rational, conscious mind and instantly connect with your creative source to manifest healing, mastery, and joy in performance and in daily life. Through PW you will learn: Ways to use music and sound as self-reflecting, transformational tools to facilitate creativity and total wellness Processes to target the underlying causes of performance anxiety Powerful mind-body awareness techniques to reduce stress Tools to reprogram negative thoughts Keys to preventing overuse injuries How to create a customized daily self-care practice Methods to overcome performance challenges in real time How to nurture a deep connection with your audience
