Lucinda Mackworth-Young MA GTCL is a pioneering consultant, lecturer and writer in psychology for musicians. She is also an experienced concert pianist and teacher.
Well known for her entertaining approach, shedding light on many of the problems encountered daily and offering a wealth of tips, she puts psychology into relevant and practical forms to inspire and refresh music teaching, learning and performing.
One of her visions is for everyone to be taught both by reading notes and by ear and improvisation so that they’ll be able to play spontaneously, anytime, anywhere. Another is for everyone to be able to perform with heart, soul and enjoyment, and without any anxiety.
To these ends she runs courses through her association, Music, Mind and Movement, and is a freelance lecturer for music teaching societies, universities, colleges and In-Service teacher training. She also provides course work for the leading professional development courses run by the Associated Board, the Incorporated Society of Musicians and the European Piano Teacher’s Association. In 2008 she was appointed Director of the EPTA UK – Purcell School Piano Teachers’ Course.
Lucinda also writes extensively and has had many articles and chapters published in Rhinegold, Faber and ABRSM publications. Her highly successful and readable book: “TUNING IN: Practical Psychology for Musicians” came out in 2001. She is currently developing material for teaching pupils to play by ear and improvise, step-by-step.
She welcomes all teachers and performers on her courses, whether experienced or not, and she encourages the discussion and sharing of ideas amongst fellow professionals.
