HOW
TO BEAT STAGE FRIGHT |
| |
I
was bit nervous while I sing a song in connection
with the send off function of our school teacher.
As usual my Grandpa suggested to read, Maximise
your brainpower, (Reader’s Digest Publication).
Yes, I feel the following portion is useful
for many of my friends and hence copying it
down: -
Musicians have to deal with a lot of pressure.
It is only natural to be a little nervous before
a musical performance. However, too much nervousness
can turn into stage fright and have a paralysing
effect on the ability to play.

Excitement
spurs us on
A little nervousness before a performance can
be helpful. After all, it is important to anticipate
the coming test. It means that practice becomes
more frequent and more concentrated so that the
musical performance can be perfect.
Good planning
If you suffer from stage fright, try to counter
your fear by considering every thing with a clear
head. What goals do you want to have achieved
by what time? What is the best way for you to
plan your time? During practice sessions, pay
particular to the weak points of your performance.
Try to eliminate fluctuations in tempo, mistakes
or a lack of dynamics. You will feel that you
have achieved something after each hour of practice.

Gaining
self-confidence
Have you made the best use of your preparation
time? Then you should be conscious of having prepared
well and having done everything in order to perform
with style and flair. It might be helpful to practice
the impending situation in an informal setting.
Ask family members or friends to attend a final
rehearsal.
Mental training
rather than medication
If you find your nervousness unbearable or if
you feel that you are become panicky, make a conscious
effort to fight those feelings – for example,
with the help of autogenic training. Don’t
resort to tranquillisers. A good night’s
sleep can work wonders for both mind and body.
