You can help many more musicians fulfill their true gifts by donating toward the opening of our Online School.

Here's how our teachers have made a profound impact on musicians’ lives in 2025:

  • The Transformative Piano Master Class Series, with Founding Teacher Madeline Bruser, reached performers and teachers as far as New Zealand, giving them new skills, freedom, and confidence.
  • “The Art of Practicing: An Interview with Madeline Bruser” appeared in the October/November issue of American Music Teacher magazine, bringing new insights and understanding to over 17,000 members of the Music Teachers National Association.
  • Teachers in England and the Netherlands who participated in our 18-week Advanced Piano Teacher Training program are reporting great strides in their teaching and in their students’ playing.
  • Certified Teacher Tal Varon taught two 18-week courses in the Art of Practicing and Performing at the Israel Conservatory of Music and the Rimon School of Music in Israel.
  • In a two-day residency at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, Certified Teacher Laura Amoriello taught 50 students how to overcome performance anxiety through mindfulness techniques, including our unique Performing Beyond Fear exercise.
  • Certified Teacher Kirk Ferguson taught trombone students at Wisconsin Lutheran college for the 12th consecutive year, and gave a Master Class at Gracenotes Symphonic Community Orchestra.
  • Certified Teacher Cathy Baerg adapted our Body and Sound Awareness exercise for ensembles, transforming the playing of an Ottawa flute ensemble.
  • Certified Teacher Stephen Burns taught Mindfulness for Musicians, trumpet, and chamber music for the fifth consecutive year at DePaul University in Chicago, as well as Master Classes at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and Boston University.

We’re proud of the impact you’ve helped us make.

And we’re thrilled to be planning new courses, workshops, master classes, and teacher training programs for 2026.

Please give generously this season.

We need your support to open our Online School next year for musicians around the world
