Enhancing Self-Esteem in the Performance Arts
By Dr. Patrick J. Cohn

Many athletes and performers I work with often wrongly determine their self-worth by how successful they feel about their career. When an athlete performs well or feels successful, he or she can feel good about him or herself. But the opposite is also true: despair and low self-esteem results when this person does not perform well or view him or herself as a failure. Self-esteem is a core issue in my work because it affects every aspect of your life, not just dancing.

Starting in October, I will be changing my studio policies as well as my pricing structure.

New students will be $25 per half hour.

Current students will see a nominal price increase for now, not a sudden jump.

I am still debating my attendance policies for this fall. Also, my schedule will probably not be as flexible in terms of weekend availabilities. I need to schedule a day off for myself.

I will be distributing the new studio policies, price increases and an availability sheet to everyone in September once I know more about my schedule.

The steps to the back door have been finished. Please feel free to use that entrance instead of the other back door. I will be able to both see/hear you when you come to the house. PS - you don't have to knock. The door will be unlocked during lessons.

I'll be on vacation from July 5th -> 10th. No lessons during that time.

Things have been very busy here. I've just finished a 10 day woodwind festival at Boston Conservatory where I was lucky to study with Jean-Michel Goury. Now that I'm back home, things have calmed down.

If you would like to change the day of your lesson, let me know. It's no problem, in fact, I'm more than happy to teach during the day if it works out better for you right now.

Hello everyone. I finally found a few minutes to sit down and make a news section for myself. I've had the files uploaded for about a month but with the Holidays, I just have not had time to get everything configured. I plan on posting information about the studio as well as my performance schedule and also some student resources. Feel free to comment on anything I post. You will have to register to post, this is to prevent anonymous people from posting comments. It happens quite often.

I will email everyone whenever I post something here so you'll know when to check.

Keep Practicing!

Amy
