Just curious-has anyone had any experience with the course "Beyond Practicing 101" currently being marketed by Juilliard faculty member Noa Kageyama: http://music.promindformula.com/beyond-practicing-101/ ??? As one who's been consistently disappointed in my performances, I'm wondering whether this is too good to be true  Everyone's input will be graciously considered

Would someone please post some performances of this guy before forking over your hard earned money. I did a quick search but could not find a performance. That to me seems important.

It looks good, and Don Greene did a seminar at Michigan while I was there that was very good.
BUT...$149 for a home study course seems a bit over-the-top, especially considering you can get his books (which look like they have the same information, albeit in less-fancy dressing) for $20 each. I have "Performance Success" and it's excellent. I've also heard that "Fight Your Fear and Win" is good, too.
Before you spring for the online home-study course, I'd highly recommend getting "Performance Success." From what I can tell, it'll give you a good idea of what to expect in the home study course.

Is the book or course mostly for professional or professionals to be?
I looked at the list of seven points and only thought the "concentration" would apply to me.
Perhaps performing for a bunch of seniors is not as demanding as auditioning for Curtis?

Only if you catch them before naptime.
