Lead by Mark Bain (Founder & Director of Performance Under Pressure, and Tutti Trumpet of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra), participants will have the opportunity to perform a short piece of their choice, and receive immediate feedback and performance coaching. These sessions are designed to provide participants with practical, actionable steps to help dramatically improve practice and performance.
