Work With Mick

Solomon Lesson 2 - branding.jpg
  • Do you have performance anxiety?

  • Does it hurt when you play?

  • Are you frustrated with your practice results?

  • Do you wonder how to practice excerpts?

  • Do you wonder what orchestra audition committees are looking for?


Viola Pro community members get the tools and the plan they need in order to succeed! We address these issues and others like them so you can play your best.

Have you ever thought about the difference between activity and achievement? Activity can be six hours of practice—hard work! But does this mean you achieved anything? I value hard work, but what I really care about is achievement. Improvement. Empowerment.

My programs increase your rate of progress. Exponentially. After working with me, your practice sessions will have a sense of focus and you will unlock the keys to real achievement. 

You’ll get closer to the finish line, faster than you ever thought possible.

If you’re a violist in high school, college, or you’re already a professional, I know I can help you. I love chatting with prospective clients and students to see if we would be a good fit. 

Contact me for a short, complementary call so we can introduce ourselves and chat about your goals.

    “Not many professionals are able to communicate so effectively the steps needed to win orchestra auditions. This class is a must for any musician that aspires to play in a professional orchestra.”
