Martin Kopf

Martin Kopf has more than 40 years of professional and life experience, of which over 35 years are in the music industry. His professional background combines music, music pedagogy, entrepreneurship, and psychologically oriented guidance. 

For decades, he worked professionally as a musician, composer, arranger, music producer, and sound engineer. In parallel, he was active as an entrepreneur: he founded and managed his own music school and ran a music business with an attached sound studio. In addition, he worked in software development and software distribution. 

An important focus of his professional career is music pedagogy. In his own music school, he worked with children, young people, and adults. In addition, he has been a long-time lecturer at the Hohner Conservatory in Trossingen and has accompanied students and aspiring music teachers there. 

A serious ear condition led Martin Kopf to have to largely abandon his previous professional activities in the music field. The personal and professional reorientation that this entailed became, according to his own account, a crucial starting point for his current work. 

Today, Martin Kopf works in his mental practice and combines his long-standing experience in pedagogy, music, and entrepreneurship with his work in psychology and music psychology. He is Certified Focusing facilitator as well as certified forest bathing facilitator (Shinrin-Yoku coach). In addition, he is intensively engaged in various therapeutic approaches, including Behavioral therapy, gestalt therapy, systemic therapy, and logotherapy. 

His current work is aimed primarily at people in situations of change and stress, as well as musicians, artists, teachers, and executives. Topics include stress, stage fright, Perfectionism, personal reorientation and internal blockages are at the center.
