I have a big problem with getting nervous before I perform, but it's really strange. When I act, I'm perfectly fine, and I only get a little nervous before the production. But I'm also involved in music. I love it a lot, but I get extremely nervous before auditions or solo performances. Why is 200 lines before an audience of hundreds no big deal, but a few measures in front of a couple of people incapacitating? I practice really hard, but when it comes to auditions, I only do half as well as normal, and I can barely breathe the whole time. My fingers get stiff and cold, and I shake like crazy! What is wrong, and how can I overcome it? It's really affecting me... I get placed lower down than I know I should be, just because I get nervous. I never got this nervous one or two years ago. WHAT'S WRONG!?!?!?!?

My guess is that when you act, you get into the play and focus on the events and stuff. But when you perform an instrument, you think you'l mess up and people will laugh at you, or it'bc you're not concentrating hard enough. You really should. Concentrating on your piece is the best thing to help get over nervousness and it also helps you play better. Think about any hard parts. Easy parts. Parts that are complicated. Or just plain soothe yourself. I've been playing the piano for almost eight years. That trick really works for me. Good luck!

Concentrating on something other than how nervous I am should help. Thank you~
