David Lanz Personal Coaching Program

"Setting an intention, visualizing your goal, and taking action towards achieving it is the beginning of the journey. Learning to focus, and create a positive outcome, are skills we can all embrace."
David Lanz

David Lanz has inspired countless pianists, musicians, and music lovers around the world with his unique musical gift, and his positive outlook on life. Here is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to talk through your musical goals and aspirations with David, in a very personal, one on one conversation.

David has spent his lifetime playing, composing, recording, touring, working and ultimately succeeding in the music business. In addition to his regular recording and concert schedule, he gives workshops around the country interacting with groups of piano students and music teachers. Here is your chance to go one on one with this musical master.

These friendly and relaxed one hour coaching sessions with David will take place over the phone and via email. He will also critique and make suggestions, if you wish, on your playing and your composing. You may submit a sample of your piano playing, or 1 or 2 original compositions (via email or on CD), for his comments and advice.

In most cases, a one hour session will be all that is needed to get you focused and moving in the right direction.

We suggest you have 5-10 questions prepared and also recommend you send a sample of your piano playing, or 1 or 2 of your original pieces (on CD or via email**) if you would like his critique of your work. Also included will be a follow up email for additional concerns or questions, if needed.

David will be available most Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Weekend sessions can be arranged in some cases. Please email 3 of your best available times. We are located in the West Coast USA time zone. We will appreciate you indicating yours.

To apply for a scholarship which will cover half the cost (you must pay the other half), please write an essay of at least 200 words discussing your music and musical background/training, why you want this time with David, and what you hope to achieve from the experience. Send your essay with "Coaching Scholarship" as the subject to coaching@davidlanz.com. We will evaluate the submissions and let you know if you are a recipient.
