Hi, I’m Susan Eldridge

  • I train musicians and staff in orchestras and classical music organisations to build strong teams and communicate with clarity.

  • I coach musicians and staff to build resilience and lead cultural change.

  • I research how trauma-informed practice can reshape orchestral and classical music workplaces for the better.
