Why Character Strengths?
We are all unique in our expression of our personalities. Social scientists categorized elements of our personalities into 24 agreed upon universal, cross-cultural Character Strengths. These strengths are grouped into six categories: Wisdom, Courage, Humanity, Justice, Temperance and Transcendence. It is our belief that working through the language and activities of your strengths, we can create a positive approach towards music learning and performance.

What Are Character Strengths? |
How we think this will help you
The research in Character Strengths shows that living and working in our top Character Strengths leads to more whole-being and higher creativity. It is our belief that an increased awareness of your own unique expression of your strengths and an increased application of Character Strengths concepts will help you as both a music learner and a performer. We initially believe you may experience greater flourishing or happiness, increased self-confidence and a decrease of anxiety as related to performance.
