Change Your Mind, Change Your Playing

Trumpeter Joe Burgstaller, formerly of Canadian Brass, presents a peak performance course through a mixture of interactive presentations, discussions, performance sessions, assignments and weekly reflections. Sessions begin with a debriefing session (a performance “support group” of sorts), where participants discuss their experiences applying the concepts from the course since the last session. Each session layers in more topics, exercises, experiments and assignments as participants gradually build their own custom peak performance lifestyle. High school students who are interested in auditioning for the workshop should contact joeburgstaller@asu.edu prior to registering.

Logic and Leadership Virtual Academy - Session A2

Online learning and social distancing have made it harder for teenagers to stay motivated and engaged. We have created a unique virtual program to help students thrive in these challenging times.

This course comes from 28 years of professional development research. We have found that stability, happiness, and success come from understanding leadership and social skills. But you cannot force teenagers to learn these principles. Students must learn how to apply them in their own lives and at their own pace.

In our program, students meet 4 days a week for 3 weeks for fun and interactive activities that relate to students’ interests. Students work one-on-one with a certified life coach to set goals, form successful habits, and plan for their futures.

This program is a $650 value, but due to COVID-19, LSA is offering this program for $350.

Online learning and social distancing have made it harder for teenagers to stay motivated and engaged. We have created a unique virtual program to help students thrive in these challenging times.

This course comes from 28 years of professional development research. We have found that stability, happiness, and success come from understanding leadership and social skills. But you cannot force teenagers to learn these principles. Students must learn how to apply them in their own lives and at their own pace.

In our program, students meet 4 days a week for 3 weeks for fun and interactive activities that relate to students’ interests. Students work one-on-one with a certified life coach to set goals, form successful habits, and plan for their futures.

This program is a $650 value, but due to COVID-19, LSA is offering this program for $350.
