Unleashing Mastery
Musician Mindset 2021 Series with William Seiji Marsh
8-Week Course Description:
Session 1: Introduction to Musician Mindset & The Power of Your Word
In this session, we will introduce the concept of Musician Mindset. We will distinguish the internal and external environments in which music occurs. We will explore how language creates our reality, and how we can have power in our music through un-collapsing what happened in the past from our interpretation of it.
Session 2: Creating Intention in Your Practice
We will distinguish the myth of “getting better”, and distinguish practicing to better a skill from practicing to be the musician you wish to be.
Session 3: Disappearing Performance Anxiety
In Session 3 we will learn a powerful exercise in cultivating a practice of performing music from a space of calm and relaxation, and the ability to create that space on demand in any situation.
Session 4: Q&A and the Powerless Payoff
We will address any questions, concerns, and “yeah-buts” that haven’t been addressed in the previous sessions, and distinguish how we use disempowerment as a payoff. Like with any payoff, there is a cost!
Session 5: Dealing Powerfully with Time
We often move through the course of the day with the intention of “getting things done”, only to find ourselves at the end of the day dissatisfied with what we have accomplished. We will discuss the nature of time, and how to deal powerfully with it.

Session 6: Breakdowns & Breakthroughs
As musicians, our path is inevitably beset by breakdowns. A breakdown can be declared when your intention is thwarted or otherwise interrupted. Breakdowns can be viewed as failures, but they are actually your access to having a breakthrough. In this session we will deconstruct the breakdown and learn how to deal powerfully with it, leading you on a path of never-ending breakthroughs.
Session 7: Guest coach session: Malachi Mott
The path to Unleashing Mastery is all about identifying what lurks in your blind spot that is blocking your path. That’s why it’s always important to have as many perspectives as possible. We’re inviting the great Malachi Mott into the series to share with you his producer mindset perspectives.
Malachi Mott is a music producer, mix engineer and art production coach based in Los Angeles, CA. With 10+ years as a professional musician, Malachi has worked in studios for major labels like Interscope and Bad Boy Records and has worked on songs with Zedd, Sia, Ty Dolla $ign and Soulja Boy. Malachi developed a love for coaching while teaching 5+ years at Icon Collective, where he was dedicated to helping everyone finish their songs quickly and powerfully such that they can create a career out of their passion.
Session 8: Q&A and Completion
We will address any last questions or concerns, and learn about how completion is not just an acknowledgement for an accomplishment, but also the perfect foundation upon which we can build something new. In the practice of “completing” you can experience accomplishment every single day.
