Testimonials
Joseph Polisi - Former President, The Juilliard School
“Don Greene’s work should have a very positive impact on the performing arts profession. In particular, it gives an exceptional focus to prepare musicians for the rigours that they will encounter in their careers.”
Penny Shumate, Soprano
“Dr. Greene helped me to become confident, free and courageous with my singing. I use his Centering techniques when I audition - now I focus completely on my singing, and not on what others may be thinking of me. Since working with Dr. Greene, I perform better and have won auditions consistently.”
Julie Landsman - Principal Horn, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Faculty, The Juilliard School
“I’ve moved up the slippery slope all musicians grapple with, away from that place where I was struggling, to a plateau of comfort, freedom and joy. Don’s program is the missing ingredient, the science I wish had been part of my early training, the methodology which can transform auditions into opportunity and performances into exultation.”
Julia Pilant, Assistant Principal Horn, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra
“Before working with Dr. Greene, I was too preoccupied with the ‘what- if’s’ while I was playing. However through his methods of centering and visualisation, my concentration and sense of focus have drastically improved my performance on many levels.”
Michael Tilson Thomas, Conductor, San Francisco Symphony
“Musicians face an intensely competitive orchestral job market and the reality that a three minute audition can determine a lifelong career. Don Greene gives young musicians a concrete set of skills to achieve the concentrated focus needed in these critical moments.”
Sycil Mathai - Principal Trumpet, Kennedy Center Opera Orchestra
“I use Dr. Greene’s techniques to prepare myself mentally and physically for auditions. I walk into an addition knowing that I will perform at a high-level. His knowledge is invaluable.”
Milan Milisavljevic - Principal Viola, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra
“Because of Don’s coaching, the pressure of attaining my dream job disappeared, and I was able to solely focus on giving my optimal performance and the day that it mattered most.”
Frank Almond - Concertmaster, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
“I use everything that Don taught me every single day and do my best to pass it on to all of my students.”
Polly Bergen - Emmy-Award winning Actress and Singer
“My fear was not the audience, but singing again. My own sense of predicted value was holding me back. Dr. Greene helped me to envision all those moments in my career when I had a true sense of my own talent and helped me to find that old fearlessness again.”
Joe Illick - Conductor, Concert Pianist and Opera Coach
“Dr. Greene’s ability to enhance performance skills is amazing. He is a tremendous asset to both professional and aspiring artists.”
James Fayette - Former Principal Dancer, New York City Ballet
“Dr. Greene teaches the focus necessary to be at your best when it counts the most.”
Tom Sherwood - Principal Percussionist, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
“Dr. Greene is a wonderful teacher. His words of wisdom are always insightful and illuminating. He really opened my eyes to a new way of auditioning and music making. It’s an indispensable tool for any musician.”
Luke Guldan - Producer, Director and Actor (The Good Place, Tell Me a Story)
“Follow Don’s lead and do what he recommends, and you will be able to access your highest levels of functioning when it really counts.”
Richard Lang Chandler - Painter, Richard Lang Chandler
“Dr. Greene has helped me accomplish my full potential as a visual artist and designer. His amazing tools enhanced my focus and has given me a reliable way to achieve a highly creative mindset before I set foot in my studio. With his guidance, I am able to project the confidence needed for me to grow as an artist.”
Pamela R. - 7 Time World Ballroom Dancing Champion
“Dr. Greene prepared me to do the work necessary to dance at the top level in competition and win. When I stepped on the floor I said to myself, ‘I am the World Champion’. In my mind, there was no other possibility. There was no negativity, fear or doubt. I centered myself in the here, and released all tension from my body. I danced as if I’d already won, and then I did.”
"Dr. Greene teaches the focus necessary to be at your best when it counts the most."
James Fayette - Former Principal Dancer, New York City Ballet
