Walk into your next audition with your body on your side.
Audition & Performance Breathwork for Musicians. Four weeks of live, science-based breath training to help you stop fighting your nerves and start using them.
Led by Bénédicte Lauzière, Concertmaster of the KW Symphony, Juilliard-trained violinist and certified breathwork facilitator.
The October cohort is full and underway. Join the waitlist to hear first when the next one opens.
You know the notes. Then your body takes over.
Months of preparation come down to a few minutes behind a screen. When your body doesn't cooperate, those minutes don't show what you can really do.
Mindset work and visualization help. But once your nervous system decides you're under threat, thinking your way out rarely works. You need something that works on the body directly.
Breath is the one part of your stress response you can steer on purpose.
The goal isn't to get rid of your nerves. They bring focus and alertness. The goal is to harness them, so they become an advantage instead of something you fight.
By the end of the four weeks, you'll be able to:
What's included
- 1Four live group sessions on Zoom Mondays, 7:30 to 8:30pm ET. Instrument-free: you just need a quiet place to sit and breathe.
- 2Customized breath exercises to practise with your instrument between sessions, so the breathwork carries over into your actual playing.
- 3A private 60-minute session with me booked whenever it suits you, for whatever you're preparing.
I'm Bénédicte. I've been in that audition room.
I'm the Concertmaster of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony and a Juilliard-trained violinist. I found breathwork while managing my own performance anxiety, and it changed how I walk on stage.
Now I'm a certified breathwork facilitator, and I teach musicians the tools I wish I'd had in school. Every practice I share has been tested where it counts: under pressure, with an instrument in my hands.

Not sure breath can change how you play under pressure?
Watch the free webinar first. I explain what happens in your body when the nerves kick in, guide you through a breath practice so you can feel the difference yourself, and share a short routine for the warm-up room.

Questions
Do I need any breathwork experience?
No. I'll guide you through everything, step by step.
Will I have to play my instrument in the sessions?
No. The group sessions are instrument-free. You'll practise customized breath exercises with your instrument at home between sessions.
I'm not a violinist. Is this still for me?
Yes. Strings, winds, brass, piano, percussion and voice are all welcome. Nerves affect every musician's body in similar ways.
Is this spiritual or science-based?
Science-based. You'll learn what breathing changes in your body, and you can judge for yourself.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is recorded, so you can catch up on the replay. Replays are private to the group, and only my face is shown.
I still have a question.
Email me at attuned@benedictelauziere.com and I'll answer you personally.
Give your preparation a body that can deliver it.
The October cohort is underway.
