Dr Berenice Beverley Zammit is a Performance Expert and Consultant, Chartered Psychologist, and professional violinist specialising in performance under pressure.
Berenice works with musicians, dancers, musical theatre performers, and other performing artists who wish to perform more consistently in high-stakes settings such as auditions, examinations, competitions, rehearsals, and live performance.
