Audition Club
(Video & Live)
Audition Club exists to support each other and perform at our best. ❤️ Weekly mocks are in the community portal. They’re either in breakout rooms or we pick a number in the large group. Audition preparation is hard, so respect, kindness, courage, and a good sense of humor are paramount.
SPARK YOUR JOY WITH THE PRACTICE JOURNAL
Staying motivated & on track is much easier and (scientifically proven!) more efficient when you plan & write things out.
The Practice Journal is designed for busy, motivated musicians who want flexible support and a plan based in SPARK Practice’s unique combination of neuroscience, elite sports, top musical training, & mindfulness.

BOOK A LESSON NOW
HI! I’M SARAH NIBLACK, HEAD NERD AT SPARK PRACTICE
Even though I thought I learned how to practice in school, I sometimes had trouble with nerves and inconsistent performances. My world-class teachers and conservatories taught me to master my instrument, but NOT how to master my practice.
With SPARK Practice, I developed now-proven techniques for building in mental, musical, and mechanical mastery with neurological safety, and it helped me learn more from my mentors.
Now I feel confident in the practice room and on stage. For the first time I consistently enjoy performing - even in high-pressure situations.
Join me and other SPARK Practicers today. Let's play! 🚀
