Who am I?

My name is David Peralta, and I help classical musicians build calm confidence under pressure. After more than 25 years performing in some of Europe’s leading orchestras as Principal Second Violin, and with over 1,500 coaching hours as an ICF PCC credentialed coach, I now support musicians with auditions, performance anxiety, and the mental side of preparation.
