Where Did It All Come From?

Neuro-Linguistic Progrmming [NLP] is the study of human excellence, and of the structure of our experience. It brings unconscious helping and hindering patterns of behavior into awareness, thus gives us informed choices about our strategies of thinking and behaving.

NLP for the Music World and Piano Play The NLP Way are among the first promoters of the connection between NLP and the music world in the UK and Canada, implementing this impactful style of coaching into teaching.

The roots of professional coaching can be traced back to the Inner Game books of the mid 1970s. In these books W. Timothy Gallwey suggested a paradigm shift in sports coaching. He had noticed that players self-corrected when he coached with open questions instead of catching errors and offering suggestions. In fact, when a player relaxed and held a picture and feeling of the desired result, the player improved. The player had corrected, without even knowing s/he had ever been in error, unselfconsciously. As the principles of the Inner Game were applied to professional development, especially to the field of business, the value of individual coaching became apparent.

This principle of coaching enhanced by the tools of NLP can very successfully be applied to teaching and performing music.
