Our guest this week is has to be my favorite Canadian, pig-farm-raised magician horn players in the world: Jeff Nelsen is the current horn player with the world famous Canadian Brass and has spent a total of over 10 years touring and recording with them, Jeff has also performed concerti and chamber music on six continents, and in the horn sections of dozens of orchestras including the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics, and the Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Montreal, and St. Louis Symphonies. He is professor of horn at the prestigious Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and is founder of Fearless Performance LLC, a company that focuses on training musicians and more to consistently perform their best.
Jeff knows how important one’s mental approach is to high-level performing, and in this interview we discuss his Fearless performance training system and online learning community, as well as Jeff’s experiences with the mental and emotional challenges present in performing, and how he has trained himself to overcome these challenges. I have spent a lot of time in my life listening to Jeff and working with him, but there is something new or excited that I discover every time we talk, and I am sure you will feel the same way after this conversation.
