Testimonials:
“She helped me in a way that had me feel excited about what I’m accomplishing. Most important is the way that she deeply listens to me to understand my intentions and passion. She helped me understand the music I was writing to get into the recording studio.”
“I learned more in those two hours than I have in the past couple months of trying to teach myself.”
“She has a unique teaching style that fosters creativity and individuality. I can’t say enough good about her. Working with her allowed me to overcome a lot of my anxiety in front of others. She helped me find my voice as well as the confidence I was lacking. I couldn’t be more grateful. She’s a gem and a beautiful soul.”
“Her ability to create an interactive learning environment creates motivation for higher-levels of learning.”
“I have improved more than I thought was possible. She really understands. She knows how to get at the heart of your issues, no matter how hopeless they seem.”
About:
As she writes this bio, Annabeth Novitzki would like to flawlessly ride the line of impressing the heck out of you with her education and experience while showing the appropriate amount of humility for a person who’s supposed to be “super mindful,” and simultaneously blending in the perfect amount of dry wit. She’s hoping that this meta self-narration format will do the trick.
Her favorite thing to brag about is having graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2004 with an Honors BFA in Vocal Performance, but mostly because it was actually the hardest thing she has ever done and she may never stop craving validation to make up for the effort. She likes people to know that she also has a Masters in Vocal Performance, but that was much easier at the University of Memphis, so she doesn’t bring it up so often.
She was the Director of Music and Art for 7 years at the coolest church on earth (unofficial but true anyway) First Congregational Church of Memphis, and on music staff for 5 years at the second-coolest church on earth, First Unitarian Universalist of Austin.
Annabeth has taught private music lessons since 2004. She has been learning contemplative practice, meditation, and mindfulness throughout this time, including being certified in Relateful Coaching. Those practices have steadily infused into her teaching and singing along the way.
Annabeth is the Head Facilitator of Relateful Austin, the only Relatefulness studio in the world, and a Facilitator and Teacher at the global mindfulness practice Relateful.com.
