Needs a pause and play button
I really like this app, however, if someone calls you or an alarm goes off or you have any sort of disturbance, you have to start your playlist from the beginning which is bothersome because I don’t always want to listen to the intro again
Response from developer
Hi Alice, Thanks for the request for a pause button. Its coming in the next update. We should have one ready to go within the next few weeks. Many thanks Sam
This app is amazing for musicians and performers
In the early years of performing I lacked confidence to perform solos or improvise, I listened to this every night with sleep outro..I used confidence, stage fright at first to build confidence then switched to playing in the zone and creativity, just amazing I now play solos and improv to large audiences with extreme confidence…highly highly recommended

Excellent and very helpful
This app won’t do your practicing for you, obviously, but I have found it to be hugely helpful as I’ve prepared for stressful performances. Like a lot of musicians, I’m pretty busy, and even when my routines are consistent, a little help to feel “grounded“ and ready to play my best is invaluable. Thanks for creating this, Sam!

Excellent & intuitive.
I have used this app repeatedly over a long period of time (several years) and find it incredibly useful. As a coach of other musicians (including several successful classical, jazz & pop soloists...as well as kids and other teachers and pros) my colleagues, coachees, pupils & friends have also found it to be a great tool — both for music and for attitudes toward life in general.

Excellent
This app is great for the performing musician- before a practice session, a gig, an audition, going to sleep, or for a practice break. I and many professional colleagues use this app with great success.
Change title of stage fright
Hi, love this app. I would very much prefer the positive side of this concept as a title- maybe “confident performance” or the like. Thanks
Incredible!
As a guitarist and composer I am always looking for ways to improve my abilities, especially when it comes to practicing. I have listened to a lot of other hypnosis recording’s with very little success. After using this app for 2 weeks I noticed some profound changes. I can only describe it as having the doors to my inner creativity and confidence flung wide open. I now have total clarity and focus when I am practicing my guitar and when I am writing music.
The app is well presented with an easy to use interface. Overall a lot of thought has gone into it.
I don’t know why or how the hypnosis on this app works, all I know is it produces some incredible results. Highly recommend this to anyone who is musician.

It worked for me
I have been using this app for a month or so, as the latest tool in my year’s-long struggle with stage fright. I used the app daily before sleep for about a week and then sporadically after that. I found myself relatively relaxed and able to focus during a performance after the week of use. The real test was my ensemble’s big concert last night. I was thrilled- not a shred of my usual fear, and in fact I actually enjoyed the gig. I think the strength of the app is the script , which is well thought out. I appreciate that there are choices which allow you to some degree to customize the experience. In the end though the real success of the app lies in the user’s willingness to allow it to work.

Fantastic!
I am a hypnotist. I must say his use of his language is phenomenal, he uses erickson’s language patterns and direct approaches which put me deep into trance. Im a struggling musician who believe it or not has problems letting go and becoming deeply hypnotized. Now Im going deeper than before and learning more and more how to become a better musician.

Lyric writers
I was wondering if any subliminal messages for songwriters will ever be made available? I’ve spoken with the creator about this a few years ago and though I do love the update I would love to see something that aids song writers as well. Creative writing for song writers as well as removing mental blocks would greatly help any songwriter.

Great.......could really use some more features
This app is great, so I left 5 stars. There are just a few features I’d like. First and foremost it realllly needs a pause button. If for some reason the audio gets interrupted you have to start over. Which wouldn’t be the biggest issue if there was a way to skip the intro. Which it does need a way to skip the intro. Also, slight cosmetic issue it could use a better icon. It would be nice if I could save a playlist. Also, set the playlist to repeat so I could set in while sleeping. Otherwise the audio is good. Would be great if there was a female voice option.

This works!
This was recommended to me by a friend for some upcoming audition prep. The voice is just right, the choice in background sounds is great, and I liked being able to set up my own playlist.
I only managed to listen a few times before my auditions, so while it didn’t work then, at the very least I felt a strong decrease in my anxiety.
However, I had a prominent performance a little over a month later, and I chose to use this app for three weeks straight. I usually chose “confidence,” “stage-fright,” “turbo-practice,” and “visualization” right before I went to sleep. I don’t even remember what the cues were because I think I actually just fell asleep. I do know I entered a trance, because I remember thinking to myself that wow, this cue is just what I need, but then waking up the next morning and not knowing what it was.
Still, I eventually found the cues working their way into my practice routine: seriously honing in on problem spots with no regard to how much time it took, only that the task was accomplished; imagining what my favorite clarinetists must feel like and see when they’re playing; and walking on to stage with confidence that everything would go well. I was hyper-nervous the week before my performance, but by the week of, I was completely confident and prepared.
I did switch to “pre-gig pep-talk” and I’m not sure if it worked. I’ve worked hard to accept that perfect isn’t truly possible. Still, my husband came to both performances and thought they were both amazing. I know that after about three weeks of consistently listening to these playlists, I decreased my anxiety and increased my relaxation and focus when it came to performances. It has actually sparked my interest in hypnosis because now I’m like, wow, this stuff really works!
I would highly, highly recommend. There are way more expensive apps out there; this one is completely worth the cost.

Invaluable Tool
I ask all of my students to get and use this app. Comprehensive, well thought out and very easy to use It’s marvellous. Excellent resource and great results.
W😳W!!
PLEASE UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw instant results after a group creativity session. 💢👊😎👍
Excellent Voice & Content
I have tried several other hypnosis recording to accomplish a variety of goals, and have often found the voice to be a bit distracting, but in this case the voice is just right. It is very relaxing.
I like being able to choose the length of the induction, and I like the imagery. The script includes very appropriate suggestions. I believe this will be very helpful to me in the long run.

Hypnosis sceptic
I was a hypnosis sceptic, but when I watched the "Brain" series on TV I questioned my bias in this area. I have struggled for years with my fingers just not able to finger the open chords on my guitar. I exercise daily to not great advantage. I the played two sessions on creativity and confidence, I was truly amazed when I then tuned my guitar and with a bit of buzz played A through G open chords, something I simply could not do before.

Recital preparation
So, I downloaded this app about 2 weeks ago, as part of my preparation for an upcoming recital. I have been out of the solo recital loop for a while, so getting back into it I’m finding that I get really nervous playing in front of people - whether its two or three individuals, my teacher, or a full crowd. Bare in mind that I do not experience this when playing with other musicians, only in solo context.
I’ve been using mostly two of the tracks - the “turbo practice” and “stage-fright” combination. I have not been playing in front of people that often since I started using it every day for two weeks, but I did notice some changes in my practice sessions. I am increasingly less frustrated and can practice better for longer periods of time, as opposed to sitting there for 2 hours but really only working seriously for 30 minutes…
I am excited to see if I experience any of the changes mentioned in the tracks when performing in front of other people and will be putting myself in performance situations more often as I approach my recital date, so I will definitely come back here and update my review as I keep working with this app.
I’m sure most of it is placebo effect - after all it toys with the idea that our subconscious is very powerful - but either way I don’t feel like I’ve wasted my money yet!

Great Stress Reliever
This doesn't work for me... not the way it was intended, at least. I never find the trance state, but it never fails to help me relax and even helps me to sleep when I have insomnia, so it gets 5 stars anyway.
This app really works!
This is such a great hypnosis app. It has really made a difference to my performing and my attitude towards performance. I have always suffered horribly from stage fright but after several sessions with this app I felt totally different and far more self confident.
The daily support to conservatoire life
This gets me through even the toughest days of music performance! With an accessible deisgn, the app can be fully customised to fit my needs. It has quickly surpassed some of the literature, The Inner Game etc, which details similar ideas as these hypnosis tracks offer, however the delivery of this information resonates much more succesffuly through this innovative and inspiring app! Paired with yoga and meditation, this app has seen me through recitals feeling more relaxed and at ease than I have ever felt allowing my full playing potential to shine through. The spectrum of hypnosis options covers nearly every corner of what I require but would love to see a hypnosis track to enhance chamber or ensemble playing! Have reccomended to alot of friends who have found it equally useful! An absolute triumph!
