WHO THIS PROGRAM IS FOR
(And who it’s not for…)
- This is for you if:
- You’re a gifted musician with a creative voice that wants to be heard
- You're struggling with tension, pain, self-doubt, burnout, or performance anxiety
- You want a reliable way to release these performance blocks
- You’re ready to put in the work and make real changes
- This isn't for you if:
- You’re looking for a “quick fix” without a deeper change
- You're not open to new approaches to practicing and performing
- You're OK with your musical life as it is
THE REAL REASON YOU'RE BLOCKED
Feeling stuck with performance blocks is a painful and dissatisfying place to be.
What makes it worse is how these blocks keep coming back, no matter what you try.
The truth is that relieving even the most worst performance blocks is simple… if you understand their root cause.
So, what is the root cause of performance blocks?
Trying to make your music happen, rather than let it flow through you.
When you try to make your music happen, your body tightens. You feel anxious. You begin to doubt your creative voice. Worst of all, your creative expression feels mechanical, effortful, and forgettable.
But when you learn to let your music flow through you, your body relaxes, your mind becomes calm and focused, and you tap into the creative joy and freedom that brought you to music in the first place.
All the techniques in Get Back to Playing Freely are designed to relieve the root cause of performance blocks so you can free your mind, relax your body, and play with soul.
By the end of the program, you’ll have the tools you need to play what you want, when you want, how you want, and for as long as you want.
In other words, you’ll be ready to share your artistic voice and get the recognition and love you deserve as a musician!
SAY "GOOD-BYE" TO THESE BLOCKS
Get Back to Playing Freely is the simplest and most effective program for getting quick and long-lasting relief from the following performance blocks:
Physical blocks:
- Repetitive strain injuries like tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and focal dystonia
- Numbness, burning, and tingling sensations
- Back pain, sciatica, thoracic outlet syndrome, and *that spot* in your shoulder
- Tightness, tension, muscle fatigue, and awkwardness of movement
Emotional and mental blocks:
- Performance anxiety
- Burnout
- Overactive inner critic
- Self-doubt
- Impostor syndrome
Through this program, you’ll be able to “good-bye” to these blocks. You’ll finally be free to focus on what what really matters, like the joy of sharing your music with audiences who will love you for it.

Five Misconceptions That Keep Musicians Stuck
If you’re struggling with tension, pain, performance anxiety, or self-doubt, you’re not alone. Many musicians unknowingly fall into common misconceptions that keep them stuck in frustration and discomfort.
In this free guide, I share the five biggest misconceptions that hold musicians back—and the surprising truths that will help you play with confidence, ease, and joy.
Download now to jump start your journey to playing freely!
WHY THE "PLAYING FREELY METHOD" WORKS
Most approaches to performance blocks only treat the symptoms—not the root cause.
- Stretching, rest, or “pushing through” the pain? You get temporary relief, but the problem returns.
- Mental pep talks or mindset tricks? They help, but they don’t address deep physical or emotional patterns.
- Endless search for relief? Why not get everything you need in one place, made easy to understand and implement?
- This program goes deeper—helping you rewire how you approach playing, so ease and confidence become second nature.
MY STORY: VIOLINIST, INTERRUPTED
I know what it’s like to be blocked by injuries and anxiety. Back in music school, I was playing with so much tension that I soon developed repetitive strain injuries in both arms. Within a month, I could barely play violin any more.
I tried everything. I saw doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, Rolfing, Pilates, Yoga, relaxation techniques, physical supports, over-the-counter pain meds—but nothing gave lasting relief.
Then, I discovered the Alexander Technique, which opened my eyes (and my body) to a radically new approach.
I learned how to play from a place of ease, rather than force. I stopped “making music happen” and started allowing it to flow. And that changed everything.
The would-be virtuoso (notice the snazzy plaid pants)
Now, as a certified Alexander Technique teacher, professional musician, and author, I help other musicians break free from the same struggles I once had—so they can play with confidence, comfort, and joy.
I created this course so you don’t have to go through the years of searching and struggles that I did.
I feel confident that in just six weeks, you’ll be amazed at how free, relaxed, and soulful your playing has become—even if you’ve been struggling with your performance blocks for years.
REAL-LIFE STORIES OF MY STUDENTS
How Robert went from severe injury to ease and magic
Robert is a professional pianist and choral director who came to me for help with repetitive strain injuries and back pain that interfered with playing piano. He had tried physical therapy, stretching, massage, heat, yoga, and rest - but his pain kept coming back. He later told me that his pain vanished… after our first session! He now plays pain-free and with more joy. In his words, "Embarking on this journey with Joseph led to profound transformations… it was nothing short of magic!"
🎯 Key takeaway: It’s possible to play without pain—even if nothing else has worked before.
How Angelica went from anxiety and doubt to confidence and joy
Elena is a guitarist and singer-songwriter who struggled with severe performance anxiety and self-doubt. Every time she went out on stage, she felt like her life was on the line! Her hand were sweaty, she had memory lapses, and she constantly wondered if she was "good enough." After going through Get Back to Playing Freely, she learned to release limiting beliefs, recover gracefully from mistakes, and trust herself more. In her own words, "I feel more relaxed and confident now that, instead of trying to prove my self-worth, I see my performances as a way of sharing my love through my music."
🎯 Key takeaway: Performance anxiety isn’t a life sentence—with the right tools, you can play at your best when it matters most.
How Elena went from burnout to purpose and passion
Angelica is a professional cellist who gigs and teaches full-time. She came to me because she was getting burnt out: too many unfulfilling gigs and students who didn't practice. She knew she wanted to share her artistic voice more widely, but didn't know how to move past her over-working, exhaustion, and self-doubt. Through the Get Back to Playing Freely program, she reconnected with her creative vitality and found a larger purpose. Now, she's starting new projects and has learned to say "no" to gigs that feel unfulfilling. In her own words: "I think I've played a lot of music being numb and without putting myself into it. Joseph has taught me what I never learned in music school: a deeper kind of creativity, with real soul and spirit."
🎯 Key takeaway: The purpose of music is to bring us more to life, and so should feel joyful and expressive—not like an obligation or a struggle.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
If you’re willing to show up and apply what you learn, YES. These techniques have helped hundreds of musicians release tension and anxiety—even when nothing else worked.
Yes! The truth is that all physical, emotional, mental, and creative blocks have a single root cause. If you have one, then you probably have the others to a degree, as well. The good news is that by relieving their common root cause, every aspect of your playing will improve in often surprising ways.
No. What audiences want from you is not an “edge.” They want your presence. When you relax and listen deeply while you perform, the focus and creative flow that result will “wow” your audiences far more than any “edge” ever could. You will learn how to do this in this program.
All these other modalities have value to offer musicians. However, sometimes other practitioners may not know musicians’ needs very well, or may only focus on one part of what you need to truly play freely. My program brings together the best many modalities in one, concise made-for-musicians package.
Absolutely. I’ve helped many musicians experience deep breakthroughs online—often faster than they expected! While there certainly are benefits to in-person Alexander Technique training, those who train online often end up more self-reliant and resilient.
As a working musician, I know how tough finances can be for many musicians. I offer easy payment plans for those who need them. But here’s the real question: how much is a lifetime of playing freely worth to you? How much would you pay to become the kind of player that effortlessly attracts enthusiastic audiences? I feel confident that by the end of this program you’ll feel that it was a steal.
This course is designed for busy musicians. You’ll learn practical techniques that fit into your existing practice—without an undue time burden. That being said, the more you put into this course, the more you’ll get out of it. You can expect 90 minutes of class time per week and 30 minutes of daily practices.
Money-back guarantee: If you show up, do the work, and don’t see results after 3 weeks, I’ll refund your investment. Rest assured that you’re only paying for something you feel is truly worthwhile.
HOW TO APPLY
100% RISK-FREE GUARANTEE
I believe in this program and I stand by it.
That’s why I offer a money-back guarantee:
If you show up, fully participate, and apply everything you learn—but you’re not seeing results after 3 weeks—I’ll give you a full refund. No hassle, no hard feelings.
You have nothing to lose—except the frustration, tension, and self-doubt holding you back.
IT'S TIME TO PLAY FREELY AGAIN!
This program isn’t just about trying even harder to fix your problems—it’s about reclaiming the joy, confidence, and artistry that made you fall in love with music in the first place.
