Juilliard Professor to Reveal Secrets of Peak Performance

Teacher: David Wallace

Would you like that extra edge that turns each performance into a thrilling, confident, fulfilling adventure?  Then you need to watch the new Peak Performance series I’m developing for [my] Talent Forge!

These new performance psychology lessons will provide insider tips and exercises for conquering stage fright, developing stage presence, taking auditions, competing, reducing stress, and much more.

I’m really excited to give you the best strategies and secrets I’ve learned from top level performers, coaches, psychologists, books, articles, as well as challenging life experiences -including my own failures.

Here’s a recent lesson I released publicly on the Conquer Stage Fright! playlist of my YouTube Channel.  It shares tips for performing your best, even when you’re sick:

The Peak Performance Series will begin as an extension of my YouTube tutorials.  However, as a [my] Talent Forge subscriber, you will get exclusive content and detailed step-by-step exercises that I only share with private students.

As the series develops, we will include Peak Performance videos from the rest of our artist faculty, as well as guests.  The first 3 videos will be uploaded today; stay tuned for the official Peak Performance series launch in February!

About David Wallace

Dr. David Wallace improvises solos like “Jimmy Page fronting Led Zeppelin” (New York Times). A composer, Texas-style fiddler, and musician fluent in classical, rock, jazz, CCM, and more, Doc Wallace chairs Berklee College of Music’s String Department. Previously, he enjoyed fourteen years as Juilliard professor, and seventeen years as New York Philharmonic Teaching Artist.

David is an internationally-touring musician; an award-winning composer; and a master teaching artist who has performed, consulted, and authored curricula for dozens of performing arts institutions, including Carnegie Hall, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Tanglewood Music Festival.

David has also gained widespread acclaim for his ability to connect with audiences in diverse settings. His Berklee Press book, Engaging the Concert Audience: A Musician’s Guide to Interactive Performance, is widely considered “an invaluable manual for all musicians, classical or otherwise” (Symphony Magazine).  Never content to let music remain in the concert hall, David actively brings his artistry to venues like schools, hospitals, psychiatric facilities, homeless shelters, houses of worship, and prisons.

David performs and records with his Texas-style string band, The Doc Wallace Trio; classical flute-viola-harp trio Hat Trick; klezmer / world-fusion jam band, Yale Strom’s Broken Consort; and symphonic metal tour de force, The Chuck & David Show.  Watch videos of David’s electrifying performances on YouTube, and learn more at www.docwallacemusic.com.
