Valerie Kampmeier,<\/strong> D.S. S., M.A., B. Mus. Hons. (Univ. of London), brings to her work decades of performance experience as a successful classical pianist, as well as over twenty-five years working as a teacher, coach and conductor in Britain, Europe and the U.S. with some of the world\u2019s most talented musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At her Purcell Room debut, she was described as “a masterly pianist<\/em>.” (The Observer, London). She subsequently gave concerts in St John\u2019s Smith Square, Pump Room, Bath, Brighton Pavilion, Dublin Castle and throughout Britain and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Valerie also performed in two BBC documentaries about the music of Terezin. In addition, she was the official pianist for masterclasses with Thomas Hampson, Galina Vishnevskaya, Barbara Bonney, Ileana Cotrubas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Valerie spent 16 years on faculty at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, teaching, coaching and performing. She also became well-known and respected as a vocal coach and worked at Glyndebourne and international summer schools in Paris, Nice, Bayreuth and Ghent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An injury that brought her career as a performer to an abrupt halt in her mid-thirties also caused her to question many aspects of musical performance training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to have a more profound understanding of her own challenges and those of others, she undertook years of intensive personal growth work which culminated in a Masters\u2019 degree in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica, a unique program that has become internationally renowned for its ability to positively transform the lives of its students, and subsequently their clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2005, Valerie founded Free To Create- Life Coaching for Creative Artists as a way to support artists through the many challenges they encounter and assist them in flourishing personally and professionally. As a result of her unique background and experience, she is able to offer a deep understanding of the challenges of the life of an artist, and empathic and expert life coaching. Her approach combines a genuine warmth and a well-developed sense of humour with intelligence, intuition and sensitivity. She has a deep respect for the inner wisdom of her clients in their quest to discover their own answers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
