Hank Feldman’s diverse musical background impacts not only his performances, but his ability as a clinician to impact both the musical and personal growth of young musicians. As the President of the F.A.M.E. Foundation and Director of Evolved Learning, Inc., Hank incorporates holistic applications into his playing and into his clinics. These applications known as Life Learning Techniques, address both musical techniques and holistic techniques. These techniques include areas such as relaxation, breathing, affirmation, and visualization.
