from The Mind Over Finger Podcast · host Dr. Renée-Paule Gauthier

You're putting in the work, but something's not clicking when it counts. Why does your playing still feel inconsistent—even though you're practicing hard? In this episode, I'm bringing two essential mindset and training shifts to the forefront—because these are the mistakes that keep talented musicians stuck, and the changes that help them finally break through. We'll cover: Why "more practice" isn't the answer if you're still struggling under pressure The missing piece in most musicians' practice routines The real reason confidence feels out of reach—and how to start building it How to stop waiting to "feel ready" and start showing up like the musician you want to become If you're ready to move past stuck and into solid, confident performances—this one's for you.   If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!
