READ ON.....

Over 20 years of performance, Nicholas and Sien Vallis-Davies (Directors at Open Academy) faced some of the most nerve-wracking experiences possible, from performing solos to a full audience at the Royal Festival Hall to presenting live television programmes to network audiences of millions.

It seemed sensible for them to explore and master some of the best techniques for managing performance anxiety...attaining peak performance skills at the same time!

Nicholas and Sien - who had both pursued academic research for their Ph.Ds in music - now researched and thoroughly delved into the vitally important, but often ignored, subject of PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY and the science-art of PEAK PERFORMANCE...

...ensuring the delivery and communication of the performance is as effective as its musical beauty and technical mastery.

The advantages of learning the most useful aspects of SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY are well known. All top sportspeople have used these techniques for decades to help them achieve their best. But despite its vitally important role, performance psychology as a subject is largely ignored by other professional training establishments.

These secrets and methods, usually available only to leading orators, TV presenters and Olympic sportspeople are shared here with players of all instruments, and singers, in PEAK PERFORMANCE CONSULTATIONS.

THE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUES YOU CAN LEARN at OPEN ACADEMY to enhance your performance:

Sien Vallis-Davies offers you techniques she and Nicholas learned and studied in depth with established masters of performance psychology and peak performance on both sides of the Atlantic. These techniques incorporate:

Ÿ	NEUROLINGUISTICS. A fascinating subject in itself...the science-art of the structure of subjective experience.

Ÿ	EFT. Emotional Freedom Techniques...based on acupressure points, these techniques prove extraordinarily effective when expertly and specifically applied to performance anxiety.

Ÿ	TRANSFORMATIONAL VOCABULARY. A remarkably self-empowering technique for life, as well as peak performance training.

Ÿ	RELAXATION TECHNIQUES. Offering the most helpful yoga postures and important breathing techniques to combat ‘nerves’

MEDITATION. If clients are open to the incredible benefits of meditation, Sien - who is a seasoned meditator herself - is always pleased to pass on the most relevant and useful visualisation techniques relevant to performance, as well as techniques to empty the mind and feel blissful and worry-free.

Ÿ	SELF HYPNOSIS. Hypnosis is very effective when used to interrupt and block the ‘fright/flight’ adrenaline-inducing mechanism of the over-motivated performer.

PLUS FURTHER HIGHLY EFFECTIVE & ESSENTIAL but little-known techniques...

RECENT CARD to SIEN VALLIS-DAVIES:

‘I can’t thank you enough for passing on the knowledge of EFT to me - I went into the concerto in control...and really enjoyed the experience.

People came up to me during the interval to say how much I seemed to be enjoying myself!

I think you will have to start calling yourself a Guru!
The review in the paper was also good’
