Hi! I'm Renato Martins
I’m offering percussion mentoring to beginner to professional level percussionists who are looking to expand their musical and professional options and seeking to get the most out of the unlimited possibilities and diversity of percussion instruments and techniques. I’ve had the experience of changing my approach and music career as a professional percussionist in an unpredictable job market. I understand the difficulties and fears a young or even an established professional might have with the choice of dedicating a life to percussion and its career possibilities. I want to help them through it because I have valuable tips and insights to share.
A MENTORING RELATIONSHIP PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO:
- Explore new ideas and work through challenges with an experienced, skilled and knowledgeable expert.
- Learn the tricks of the trade that you would not ordinarily have access to through formal training or programs.
- Broaden your perspective with new ways of operating and approaching challenges.
- Expand your networks and obtain increased visibility of the inner workings of the percussion music industry.
- Increase your skills, abilities, knowledge, self-confidence and self-awareness.
- Obtain one-to-one customised support and constructive feedback.
- Learn to share your goals and journey with your mentor and access the support you need to take you to the next level.
