Hi, I’m Susan Eldridge

I train 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.
