The first-ever Audition Breakthrough Summit will start on March 15, 2017.   I sat down with event organizer Will Timmons of mockauditions.com to chat about all the details. Join former podcast guest and National Symphony bassist Ira Gold, Dr. Noa Kageyama of The Bulletproof Musician, Colin Williams of the New York Philharmonic, and several others for this unique and powerful event. We have a special code for Contrabass Conversations listeners for this event.  If you enter 'contrabass20' at checkout, you will receive $20 off any pass you purchase. I'm also thrilled to be a presenter on this esteemed panel.  I'll be presenting lessons I learned from interviewing over 25 audition winners for my Winning the Audition book. More about the Audition Breakthrough Summit: Many times you may run into a wall when it comes to your audition taking. What keeps you from playing your best? Could it be fear, anxiety, lack of preparation, not trusting yourself? There is a long list of things that contribute to a less-than-optimal performance and every person has a unique set of issues to work through. We all need to be able to perform our best in any given situation. It’s time to get rid of those issues and allow ourselves the chance we deserve at winning our next audition. That is why the Audition Breakthrough Summit was created. In this summit, we will focus on improving our MINDSET, STRATEGY, and FLOW. These three components are essential for achieving your audition goals. Each session will relate to at least one of these components, giving you the tools you need to excel and achieve your goals.
