Meditative Music Making
Meditative Music Making
Play from stillness. Perform from presence.
- Most musicians fight their instrument to get better. You’re about to discover what happens when you stop fighting.
- Stress dissolves, confidence becomes your natural state, and Flow isn’t something you chase, it’s something you arrive in.
TRANSFORM YOUR MUSIC:
- Reduce stress – release the tension that’s been sitting in your shoulders, your breath, your playing
- Access unwavering confidence – not the fragile kind that cracks under pressure, but the kind that’s rooted in who you are
- Easily enter Flow – the state every musician chases and few ever find on purpose

1. Tasters
One hour. Zero commitment. Just come feel it. A gentle, guided introduction to meditative music making — enough to shift something, and enough to know if this is for you.
2. Deep Dive
Meditative movement. Guided meditation. Meditative playing. This is where the real transformation begins. You’ll move, breathe, and settle into stillness before you ever pick up your instrument — so that when you do play, it comes from somewhere new.
3. Manifesting Meditative Music
Create it. Record it. Make it real. The culmination of the method: writing and recording original music born directly from your meditative state. Not imitation — your own voice, finally unblocked.
The Method Behind It
Everything here is built on my Signature 3-Step Method, refined over decades of practice and study. I’ve taken the most powerful techniques from meditative and musical traditions across cultures — and adapted them specifically for musicians shaped by Western training and Western conditioning.
The result isn’t a gimmick. It’s a practical, repeatable path from tension to Flow.

What Our Participants Are Saying
I wanted to reach out and tell you how important the replay of the Jan 15 class has been for me. I go through both the exercises and the meditation multiple times a week. The exercises really do support me before playing. And the meditation? It is INCREDIBLE. I love it so, so, so, so much. Truly. It is deeply powerful every time I go through it. Thank you for creating your program. …this free offering has been a game changer for me. Thank you for being so generous with your content and your time. Your work is having a deep impact on my daily life.
– Katie Frisco “The Musician’s Mindset”
It was great. I enjoyed it very much! It gives a lot of ideas and things to work on in between. Thank you!
I like the yoga exercises and shaking. I notice if I do that before my music lesson, I’m more relaxed. Just five or ten minutes to breathe deeply in my lungs and belly and things are flowing better.
I also know how you work, and you are very respectful and open. You have a way of encouraging people and getting the best out of them.
My playing has really improved.
It has helped me a lot. Being this creative with the music, I love it.
I feel rewarded just by doing it. I’m more balanced. I’m just a different person.
– Nurse and Naturopath
You lighten up the room and are inspiring people to get in touch with the joy that is inherent in us all. You pull the joy out of them, that’s a gift you have. I know your story telling is inspiring us to look at our own humanness.
You are so inspiring. It was such an honour to be there today. You are amazing!
– Flutist and educator
I liked it very much!! It was a pleasant and wonderful energy in a nature with birds and other animals (from the slide show). I want to thank you. It was like the first time you enter a foreign world of music.
It was absolutely beautiful and interesting!
– Alice, singer and improviser
It was amazing today! I sang in a world full of calm sound like in the middle of a forest! Thanks for this meditation. ❤
It was fun!

What Others Are Saying
This session has given me a whole new perspective on how I work on myself and my clients. No need to push!
– Music Therapist
Thanks so much for your superb playing!
– Sudhananda, Recording artist
I have been using Nandin’s meditative music to support relaxation during my Cranio-Sacral and Vibrational Acupuncture healing sessions, online and in-person. Nandin’s music is the best!
– Kyra Lober, Master Therapist BodyBeingHeart.com
Thank you to a wonderful person, a fantastic teacher. Excellent teaching.
– Former student Rhian Kenny, Principal Piccolo and Assistant Principal Flute with the Pittsbugh Symphony Orchestra
I would like to invite you to become a member of our orchestra! You will be a great asset to us – your mastery is very impressive.
– Dr. Roman Salyutov, leader of the Bergisch Gladbach Chamber Orchestra (pianist, chamber musician and soloist with orchestra.)
To my great good fortune, fate placed Nandin Kathleen Baker into my hands. Studying with her and playing duets, taking home her many expert tips and tricks after every lesson is just great. Her wealth of experience is such an enrichment for me. It is simply wonderful to be helped along by a professional musician. A small change in posture or finger position and it all works much better. It’s a great experience to realise that you can always improve.
– Marion Bruhn
Kathleen Baker, flute, performed the playful baroque melodies with extraordinary virtuosity and a perfect sound quality.
– Cologne City Gazette
Thank you for everything you did last year.
I loved reading your posts, I enjoyed the meditations, and I learned a lot.
– Ruža Vujanić
“I am thrilled with your flute lessons. You respond to my needs and wishes as an older pupil and thus reawaken my joy in playing the alto recorder. You take away more and more my fear of teachers and authority figures that I had for years and I can play in front of you and with you in a very relaxed way. Each time you weave in some very exciting theoretical and practical additions with playful ease, which are very useful to me when practising or interpreting. After each lesson I feel newly motivated and grateful to be learning with such a respected musician.
