I have tried several other hypnosis recording to accomplish a variety of goals, and have often found the voice to be a bit distracting, but in this case the voice is just right. It is very relaxing.

I like being able to choose the length of the induction, and I like the imagery. The script includes very appropriate suggestions. I believe this will be very helpful to me in the long run.

So, I downloaded this app about 2 weeks ago, as part of my preparation for an upcoming recital. I have been out of the solo recital loop for a while, so getting back into it I’m finding that I get really nervous playing in front of people - whether its two or three individuals, my teacher, or a full crowd. Bare in mind that I do not experience this when playing with other musicians, only in solo context.

I’ve been using mostly two of the tracks - the “turbo practice” and “stage-fright” combination. I have not been playing in front of people that often since I started using it every day for two weeks, but I did notice some changes in my practice sessions. I am increasingly less frustrated and can practice better for longer periods of time, as opposed to sitting there for 2 hours but really only working seriously for 30 minutes…

I am excited to see if I experience any of the changes mentioned in the tracks when performing in front of other people and will be putting myself in performance situations more often as I approach my recital date, so I will definitely come back here and update my review as I keep working with this app.

I’m sure most of it is placebo effect - after all it toys with the idea that our subconscious is very powerful - but either way I don’t feel like I’ve wasted my money yet!

This doesn't work for me... not the way it was intended, at least. I never find the trance state, but it never fails to help me relax and even helps me to sleep when I have insomnia, so it gets 5 stars anyway.

This app doesn't seem to work on ios 8.3. Disappointing.

i just want to thank you for making this available. Its so relaxing. And a blessing. Thank you so much. The power of suggestion is a true marvel. As a singer songwriter ive explored more of myself as a artist and the discovery has been amazing. 🙏

Every aspect of my performance has improved since day one of using this app. Sight reading, improvising and confidence all have seen a boost since starting. The flexibility of the app is wonderful. I can use the pre gig pep talk and confidence portion before gigging or I use the sight reading and timing portion before going to big band rehearsal. Having had previous hypnotherapy experience made it easy for me to go into deep sleep using the short induction part. Again the flexibility of the app permits this, short, medium or long induction. If you're a serious musician...you need this app.

The content of this app is outstanding however the sound of this mans voice with earphones is profoundly irritating! So much so that I can't go through with it which a shame and very frustrating. Hey buddy, I'm sure you are a nice guy and all but can you do something about your voice? Nothing worse than the sound of another mans voice whispering in your ear. Maybe sound more distant, farther away from the microphone you recorded from? Just a thought. Other than that, the content is superior. Would have given 5 stars.

Great idea. I only just started using it so I should wait and review again later when I've seen results, but I already have some experience with, and belief in, the power of hypnosis and I think this app is very well done. The only critique or update I would request is an echo of the idea of allowing it to continue in background while the screen shuts down. Also I didn't find the wave sounds very convincing and therefore soothing. However I like the air sounds. I'd highly recommend this as is anyway. Another track idea I had was perhaps some way to input demos if specific songs to learn, if you catch my drift. Like a pep talk about learning the song similar to the rhythm & timekeeping track I listened to, followed by an actual song imported from iTunes? That is how I often learn new material anyway, by listening to it regularly as I fall asleep. And this works as is to help that process, but I thought could perhaps be integrated even further. Anyway, thanks for this tool, keep up the good work.

...wish I didn't have to leave my screen on all night.

Well, this WAS a pretty good app, but now after the recent iOS upgrade none of the tracks seem to work or play, so it literally does nothing on either my iPod 4 or iPhone 4S.

I've put in the hours on my instrument. These meditations help keep me out of my own head and let my work come out unhindered in the moment. Very appreciative. Looking forward to more material here.

Thank you for making this backwards compatible for the old software! Great investment

I like this app and use it pretty much every day. I especially like using the combination of "confidence/Turbo-practice/rhythm and tempo/pitch & tuning".

I have noticed a significant improvement in all of the above named areas.

If someone would argue that "well, that's all psychological", the only way I could respond is "You think?"

I mean, duh! That's what Hypnosis is: psychological.

Full disclosure for many years my mother was a hypnotherapist. She helped a lot of people with various issues of stress, performance improvement (including one professional athlete) bad habit stopping, and other behavior modification issues.

But one of her sayings which she learned from her teacher is "all Hypnosis is self hypnosis".

To say "YMMV", should be obvious, but in case it isn't, here it is:

Your mileage may vary. This will not work for everyone. If it doesn't work for you, that doesn't mean "it doesn't work". It means it doesn't work for ***you***. But that's true about any kind of self-improvement technique.

I do like the sleep function.

If there's room for improvement, it would be to somehow make the app work in the background. I have tons of audio apps that do this. There must be a way to make that work. Or at least to be able to lock the screen so you're not using up more battery power.

Also, I would like to be able to use it with my iTunes library.

But these are nitpicks, at least for me. Certainly not deal breakers.

And although it's not as good as being able to program my own music into the background of the session, you can use the app White Noise. That app will play in the background with any audio app. It's one of my favorites. I can layer on various background sounds such as ocean, rain, thunder, and many more. It has a mixer function so you can control the volume of four different sounds you can combine. I use that in combination with this app.

The only other thing you might want to be aware of: Musicians Hypnosis does take up a lot of storage space on your device.

In conclusion: a very useful app for improving various aspects of musicianship and performance. For me.

I started using Musicians Hypnosis 1.0 about 1.5 years ago and immediately began to notice change in the intensity of my practice sessions (using Turbocharge), enhanced concentration and advancement in my playing technique---classical piano, solo and chamber ensemble. The stage fright script has helped control pre-performance jitters, and the visualization script helped me answer an important life decision. All-around GREAT hypnosis app for musicians, and the best hypnosis app that I've seen. The enhancements in version 2, like terminating into restful sleep, make the app even more flexible and useful. I'd recommend it to every serious musician, regardless of the type of music or instrument you play! Harness your full potential by using more of you available mental resources.

Another valuable tool for learning!

Whether you need a little boost of confidence, or are trying to get past some writers' block, then this is the app for you. I use this to get the creative juices flowing, and the narrator has a perfectly calm and soothing voice. What I like best is that you can customize your sessions, based on how long you want to be entranced, and what subject you would like to focus on. There is even options for background sounds and subliminal messages, which help distract you enough to get into the zone. I am really looking forward to the pending update, as well. I even use this app to help me get to sleep at night. Buy it!

I have been looking for something like this for a long time. It takes "The inner game of music" to a practical and easily do-able level. So when will a sleep track be available? i really Love this app. Thank you so much.

I saw instant results after a group creativity session. 💢👊😎👍

I recommend this app for any musician, singer, no matter what skill level. It will take your playing to the next level. Trust me

I like this ap, but would love to see a few updates:

- choice between wake and sleep after session

- a description of what the affirmations are ("question" and "visualization" are not self-explanatory.

-ability to build a custom session using multiple affirmation selections.

- indication of how much time the sessions take

- ability to turn screen off while ap is playing

I use self hypnosis apps several nights per week, but while I would love to use this more regularly, I tend to opt for programs that have the above features. Please put out an update and I would be thrilled to add more stars to my rating!,

When is this sleep mode update coming. Don't buy til it comes. We're tired of waiting

A real shame. It's good, but no sleep mode. Screen stays on throughout whole session. Battery drainer. If you fall asleep yr done.

If u have problems with sound, unmute your phone.

This app = Very powerful stuff. Helps me fully relax at a level I didn't think was possible, and has been effective so far for my stage fright and remembering lyrics. Definitely recommend to any musician looking to take things to the next level.

A must have for any musician very soothing too at a great price!

The induction extends way too long before the hypnotist gets to the actual suggestions.

I wasn't really all that excited about the interface. It gave me control over aspects I didn't care about having control over while not giving me the ability to pause or rewind, loop the suggestions, chain together themes or see how long my session would be.

I had trouble getting app to install properly at first, but it finally did. Well worth it.

For those of us who have difficulty finding time to take advantage of the great help in this app, it would be immensely helpful to have a sleep mode. I just dont get to use it otherwise. For me it's a big drawback to this app. It's a GREAT app, but more may purchase it if it had the sleep option. And it would bring my rating to a five. Thanks for your work!

Very good but needs to be able to run in background or have a sleep mode because it kills you batteray

I discovered this application after reading about it in Classical Singer Magazine. It's well worth the money! I have made it part of my daily ritual, and find I am extremely relaxed, and focused when finished. A broad range of subjects are available. You won't be sorry you tried it!

I've just started using this APP and already I'm experiencing changes in my ability to sight-sing. In only a few sessions, I have felt a sensation of "effortlessness." I now realize that even though this APP does not replace practice, it does help to accelerate the gifts that we all have. I just to stumble EVERY TIME I tried to sight-sing, and though I still stumble, I realize that I'm starting to do it less. Sight-singing has become more relaxing and enjoyable. :]

At first I was skeptical of what this app could do. I appreciate meditation and hypnosis and yet had never considered applying it to music. Sam gets right to it and delivers a invaluable tool for growth. Since using the App, my confidence and attack behind the kit is on point. I use it at least three times per week. For $5, I suggest tool up with a real game changer.

I really like this app. Well worth the $5. The affirmations are very good and even informative in terms of the best practice methods. It's also very relaxing. Highly recommend it for any serious musician!

This app is fantastic. Works beautifully, and delivers what it promises. I recently started using it about two weeks before a big audition I was taking and have never felt more confident or comfortable as I did that day. I Highly recommend!
