Ellen van Lelyveld
(1947) is a daughter of Hella S. Haasse and Jan van Lelyveld. She studied piano and composition at the Sweelinck Conservatorium. She also studied psychology for some years at the University of Amsterdam and graphic design at the Rietveld Academy. In the years that followed she studied hypnotherapy, psychosynthesis and effective intuition, specialising in the mental side of music making. This resulted in the emergence of the integrated studying method. From 1996-1999 she was project coordinator of Personal Instrument, a project on attitude, movement and mental training at the Zwolle conservatory. Within that framework she designed a Mental Training for students of music. She has her own practice, counselling students of music in many fields. www.ellenvanlelyveld.com
