What to Expect

A 32-Module Curriculum for High-School Musicians

Research-Backed • SEL-Centered • Performance-Focused 

The Firebird Mentality is a short-form (<5 min. per video), science-based curriculum that equips student musicians with the psychological, emotional, and physical tools they need for healthy, confident, and sustainable artistic growth.

The program blends digital instruction with hands-on, reflective journaling exercises, breathing work, guided visualization, and stress-regulation practices, all designed specifically for the high-school ensemble environment.

“Rather than focusing on what to think, we emphasize how to think, supported by scientific principles that explain the why.”

— Rebecca Sieff

Why It Matters

Music can elevate mood, spark connection, and create belonging—but it can also bring intense pressure. Many young musicians wrestle with competition, negative self-talk, and fear of judgment or failure, often stepping back before realizing their full potential.

I was one of them.

For years, I battled anxiety, perfectionism, and comparison. Over nearly three decades of horn performance—including almost twenty years in elite military ensembles—I learned how to overcome these challenges. The Firebird Mentality is the digital course I created to help high-school musicians build those skills early.

Through 32 short video lessons (each under five minutes), students gain practical tools for emotional awareness, confidence, resilience, and self-compassion—skills that strengthen their music, their mindset, and their lives.
