Hi, I’m David Peralta — high-performance coach for classical musicians.
I help musicians prepare for auditions, competitions, and high-stakes performances with more clarity, steadiness, and a nervous system that doesn't work against them when it matters most.
I bring over 40 years of experience as a professional violinist, ICF PCC certification with 1,500+ coaching hours, and faculty experience at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
What shapes my work is this: the problem is almost never the repertoire. It's the relationship with pressure. And that's something that can genuinely be trained.
600+ musicians coached across 25 countries.
