Applied Initiatives
The APS Hub is active part of life at the Schulich School of Music community. We offer a variety of applied initiatives that focus on health and wellbeing. Some of these initiatives began as a part of the LEAP Campaign, first launched in Fall 2023.
Overview
LEAP Campaign
The "Take the LEAP" Campaign takes an holistic approach to wellness that recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Our evidence-based practices are designed to promote positive habits and help students thrive in every aspect of their lives. From hands-on workshops to engaging activities, we provide the resources and support you need to "take the LEAP" towards a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life.
Performance Simulator
Sessions at the Performance Simulator offered by the Applied Performance Sciences Hub provide students an opportunity to practice performing in front of a simulated audience. Students gain valuable experience by applying stress management and emotional regulation strategies, and analyzing and reviewing audio-visual recordings on their own, with their professor, and other mentors.
Performance Science in Music Instruction
A fundamental tenet of the Applied Performance Sciences Hub is the APPLIED aspect! As a main priority, we directly apply current research findings in action through innovation and collaboration. Our team’s musician-centered approach in translating and teaching the latest performance science research helps musicians reach their full potential, both onstage and off.
