MEXICO, MX - March 23, 2026 - The Conscious Musician Methodology announced that findings from participants in its Conscious Musician Program will be presented during the fifth anniversary of the Mexican Healthy Conservatoires initiative in November. The presentations will take place in several leading music schools in Mexico City and will focus on approaches to effective music practice, stage presence, and performance preparation explored through the methodology.
The announcement highlights ongoing work connected to The Invisible Force of Music, an award-winning book authored by violinist and educator Paulina Derbez Roque. The book addresses the need for a transformation in music teaching, emphasizing the “invisible force” within music and its role in shaping meaningful live performance experiences. The publication examines how musicians may approach performance through a balance of mental focus, emotional awareness, and physical alignment. It presents practical exercises grounded in scientific research, encouraging a holistic connection between mind, heart, and body to enhance both daily practice and stage performance.
Described by composer Barry Goldstein as “a journey to discovering one’s true artistic capabilities,” the book positions music not only as entertainment but as a pathway for personal and artistic transformation. Anne Inglis of The Strad notes it as “an invaluable read” for musicians at all levels.
The upcoming presentations will share observations from a group of musicians who completed the Conscious Musician Program. The program explores strategies for integrating awareness-based techniques into daily music practice and stage preparation, particularly in areas related to performance focus and stage experience. Findings from program participants will contribute to discussions during the anniversary event, in collaboration with Healthy Conservatoires UK.
Paulina Derbez Roque, award-winning violinist and author, noted that the methodology encourages musicians to explore performance from a broader perspective. “Music involves more than technical preparation,” Derbez Roque said. “The Conscious Musician Methodology invites performers to consider how awareness of the mind, heart, and body can support a more integrated approach to daily practice and performance on stage.”
Participants in the program have described the experience as providing new perspectives on musical development. Melisa Bollas, a Bachelor of Music graduate who completed the program, shared her reflections: “My experience helped me regain my connection with music and understand performing as a way of sharing artistic expression and human emotion.”
The anniversary event will also mark an important milestone for the Mexican Healthy Conservatoires initiative, which promotes wellbeing and sustainable artistic development in conservatory training environments. As president of the initiative, Derbez Roque will present insights from participants while contributing to discussions on innovative teaching methods and reflective practice in music education.
The November presentations are expected to bring together educators, students, and musicians interested in evolving approaches to music education and performance preparation.
