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

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.

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.

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. Show more

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. Show more

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. Show more

PLEASE UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw instant results after a group creativity session. ????

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.

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!

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. Show more

This app doesn't seem to work on ios 8.3. Disappointing.

i just want to thank you for making this available. Its so relaxing. And a blessing. Thank you so much. The power of suggestion is a true marvel. As a singer songwriter ive explored more of myself as a artist and the discovery has been amazing. ? Show more

Every aspect of my performance has improved since day one of using this app. Sight reading, improvising and confidence all have seen a boost since starting. The flexibility of the app is wonderful. I can use the pre gig pep talk and confidence portion before gigging or I use the sight reading and timing portion before going to big band rehearsal. Having had previous hypnotherapy experience made it easy for me to go into deep sleep using the short induction part. Again the flexibility of the app permits this, short, medium or long induction. If you're a serious musician...you need this app. Show more

The content of this app is outstanding however the sound of this mans voice with earphones is profoundly irritating! So much so that I can't go through with it which a shame and very frustrating. Hey buddy, I'm sure you are a nice guy and all but can you do something about your voice? Nothing worse than the sound of another mans voice whispering in your ear. Maybe sound more distant, farther away from the microphone you recorded from? Just a thought. Other than that, the content is superior. Would have given 5 stars. Show more

Great idea. I only just started using it so I should wait and review again later when I've seen results, but I already have some experience with, and belief in, the power of hypnosis and I think this app is very well done. The only critique or update I would request is an echo of the idea of allowing it to continue in background while the screen shuts down. Also I didn't find the wave sounds very convincing and therefore soothing. However I like the air sounds. I'd highly recommend this as is anyway. Another track idea I had was perhaps some way to input demos if specific songs to learn, if you catch my drift. Like a pep talk about learning the song similar to the rhythm & timekeeping track I listened to, followed by an actual song imported from iTunes? That is how I often learn new material anyway, by listening to it regularly as I fall asleep. And this works as is to help that process, but I thought could perhaps be integrated even further. Anyway, thanks for this tool, keep up the good work. Show more

...wish I didn't have to leave my screen on all night.

Well, this WAS a pretty good app, but now after the recent iOS upgrade none of the tracks seem to work or play, so it literally does nothing on either my iPod 4 or iPhone 4S. Show more

I've put in the hours on my instrument. These meditations help keep me out of my own head and let my work come out unhindered in the moment. Very appreciative. Looking forward to more material here. Show more

Thank you for making this backwards compatible for the old software! Great investment

I like this app and use it pretty much every day. I especially like using the combination of "confidence/Turbo-practice/rhythm and tempo/pitch & tuning". I have noticed a significant improvement in all of the above named areas. If someone would argue that "well, that's all psychological", the only way I could respond is "You think?" I mean, duh! That's what Hypnosis is: psychological. Full disclosure for many years my mother was a hypnotherapist. She helped a lot of people with various issues of stress, performance improvement (including one professional athlete) bad habit stopping, and other behavior modification issues. But one of her sayings which she learned from her teacher is "all Hypnosis is self hypnosis". To say "YMMV", should be obvious, but in case it isn't, here it is: Your mileage may vary. This will not work for everyone. If it doesn't work for you, that doesn't mean "it doesn't work". It means it doesn't work for ***you***. But that's true about any kind of self-improvement technique. I do like the sleep function. If there's room for improvement, it would be to somehow make the app work in the background. I have tons of audio apps that do this. There must be a way to make that work. Or at least to be able to lock the screen so you're not using up more battery power. Also, I would like to be able to use it with my iTunes library. But these are nitpicks, at least for me. Certainly not deal breakers. And although it's not as good as being able to program my own music into the background of the session, you can use the app White Noise. That app will play in the background with any audio app. It's one of my favorites. I can layer on various background sounds such as ocean, rain, thunder, and many more. It has a mixer function so you can control the volume of four different sounds you can combine. I use that in combination with this app. The only other thing you might want to be aware of: Musicians Hypnosis does take up a lot of storage space on your device. In conclusion: a very useful app for improving various aspects of musicianship and performance. For me. Show more
