ANAM presents a range of activities to accompany the performance training, these activities are considered essential to becoming well-rounded musicians.
Health and Wellbeing
Recognising the challenge of maintaining a healthy mind and body as a performer, these sessions cater for a broad spectrum as well as specific instrumental issues, regarding the physical and mental implications of being a performer. Sessions aim to provide musicians with the tools to deal with the preparation and on-going care of mind and body, including advice on how to prevent or treat injury and manage pain, and ways to manage performance anxiety. ANAM works closely with a team of psychologists and leading professionals in the health and wellbeing area.
Professional Development
Presented by acknowledged authorities in their field, these activities include Q&A and opportunities to discuss the many, and varied, career options for life after ANAM and to build your own professional connections with performers, composers, presenters and industry professionals.
Community Engagement
Led by music educator Karen Kyriakou, all musicians will have the chance to be involved in various ANAM community engagement programs including the in-schools program and community concerts. Musicians will learn skills to present and workshop in accessible and engaging ways for their audience.
