Then how come after years of lessons, concerts, and auditions you’re just as nervous as ever (if not more so)?
You’re the kind of musician who is willing to work hard. You give it your all on stage and in auditions and you perform regularly.
And yet, in spite of all of your experience, you find yourself struggling to feel confident. Out of nowhere, your nerves take over and all of your hard work seems to go flying down the drain.
In fact, if you’ve been struggling with this for any length of time, I bet you’ve tried:
No matter what you try, nothing seems to truly help you feel better when you perform. You want to feel LESS NERVOUS and (maybe) actually enjoy performing.
You know that there must be a way to feel less nervous.
You KNOW that you’re willing to put in the work and do anything you can to perform your best.
And YOU KNOW that it’s time to learn the skills you need to manage performance anxiety and perform with confidence.
As a conservatory-trained violist, I struggled with performance anxiety for years. After one audition in which I got super nervous and things fell apart, I found myself sitting on the floor of my bedroom, crying and wondering if it was time to give up.
Even if you believe it’s possible for someone to feel confident on stage, it probably feels impossible for you. But I’m here to tell you that you can feel better during high-stakes performances. You can enjoy embracing the spotlight.
I struggled with nerves for years until I discovered a new method of performance preparation that changed everything. And I created Performance Ready specifically to help other musicians learn the skills they need to perform with confidence.
