Violin performance and pedagogy

Peter Inglis recording with Jazz Legend Ike Issacs - Image © Peter Inglis - The Whole Guitarist - www.thewholeguitarist.com. I have been lucky enough to play with Ian Cooper for the past 10 years. I taught him a few things about jazz and he has exposed me in his playing to the virtuoso traditions of violinism as taught him by Harry Kirby and Chris Kimber, as well as the Suzuki Method as taught by his mother Jan Cooper.

In his own explorations of jazz and electric violin he is pushing the tboundaries of violin technique and expression even further. Go to www.iancooper.com to find out more about this outstanding musician

Performance Enhancement

Rudolph Talmacs is a Philosopher and Hypnotherapist who taught me about the links between cognition and brain functioning, particularly in blood flow, oxygen usage and seratonin secretion, and more importantly how this impacts on musical performance.

He also explained to me how your cognitive map of a piece of music has real and concrete effects on your performance of the same.

Time Management, Entrepeneurial and Self-Motivation Skills

Bill Smallwood was a guitar student of mine who I coached in guitar playing until he achieved a dream of his - to play Guitar to an audience at the State Theatre in Sydney, Australia. He works as an independent consultant and has given me valuable and structured techniques for defining and then achieving one's life goals. Bill is one of the masterminds behind the world famous Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb.

Martial Arts

In my formative years I was fortunate to study Martial Arts with Greg Gillett , a respected Sports Medicine lecturer, Acupuncturist, NLP Therapist, Chiropracter, Herbal Medicine Practitioner, Musician and all round 20th century renaissance man! Beyond that I was always able to draw on his encyclopaedic knowledge of piano performance. Any question I had - from Elton John to Prokofiev and Oscar Peterson, Greg had answers based on his practical experiences performing this music.

Chamber Music, Jazz, Cabaret, Rock....

Cellist Wendy Burge, flautists Rebecca Steele, Jan Junor and Jane Hullick, violinists John Philp and Rebecca Daniels, guitarist Andre Storer and my many other colleagues have shared their expertise freely and generously with me over the years and apparently never tired of my persistent and often repetitive questions.
