Not the best advice i think, even though i know what it has meant to say. Dont look at any other pianist as your rival and dont copmare to others in way - hes better than me, i must get better than him. Enjoy the sound which comes from the piano even if its a very simple piece and listen carefuly

In the end of the day, music is something meant for pure enjoyment. Missing a few notes or even bombing completely will not ruin anything - you're not performing surgery or sending a rocket to space. Sometimes it gets so overanalyzed that you sort of lose that grasp of reality.

@cute dar bs doesn't matter, it's about forgetting that part. Bring your focus back to your own enjoyment, you will naturally play better. If possible, close your eyes if you have to. That may help move your focus from the stage fright to the emotion in your playing. Whatever you do, think about the music, not the people. My original comment in this thread is 5 years old but it still works for me.

Wish I would have watched this earlier. I tried to play Clare De Lune in church on Sunday for my wife's birthday. I had been working on it since December and, while I didn't have it 100% ready, thought I could get through it. I also thought my nerves would calm down once I started but once I hit the arpeggio section and started making mistakes, my hands started to shake uncontrollably so I stopped because there was no chance of recovery. However, I did watch another video of yours about practicing a new piece and began to practice from the back moving forward. Thanks for all your tips. I"ll keep watching.

your #1 is most important, self worth not determined by how i play. What i do is 20 min before the performance I talk to myself for 5 minutes aloud using my own name and i listen to my own voice as if i was really talking to myself as a parent and try to tell i love you no matters how you do tonight. I know it sounds silly or schizophrenic but it works. It has to do with reaching that subconscious part of your brain with the power of suggestion as we all know it cannot be ordered you have to make friend and make a pact with it before your perform. Some people may call it meditation but it's the same thing and you have to speak aloud and accept yourself. During the performance you have to live in the moment, see that roll turning slowly and if you brain "thinks", just a hint of the pact you made with your subconscious brain and it will stay back and be nice to you.

What I used to do for the small concerts my teacher used to organise is really play for myself. Basically pretend I'm sitting in the audience simply wanting to enjoy beautiful music. Most of the audience won't focus on things you do wrong but enjoy the things you do well, so I try to do that as well. It really helps me not get stuck on small mistakes I make.

I fully agree. I sang in an opera several years ago and had a short aria and I always messed it up in rehearsals. I were never in the moment, I just wanted it to be over. When it was time for performace I had never sung the aria flawless. Then, just a minute or so befor it was time for me to enter the stage, I thought ”This is beautifull music. I dont ever want it to stop” So instead of thinking it will soon be over I was present in the moment and every performance went flawless.

I never overcame stage fright. I played Franz Liszt Paganini Etude No. 6 when I was 12 at Carnegie Hall. By the time I was 17, I gave it up. The reason I quit was the pieces were getting harder and the pressure of being perfect or I should say the pressure of my performance being perfect, gave me ulcers. Franz Liszt pieces were my favorite to play, they were so fast, fluid and kept my fingers nimble.

I've been performing regularly since I was 6 and am 20 now. Between the ages of 6 to about 18, I never had to worry about memorizing anything. That is in fact one of my strong sides - to remember longer and complex pieces quickly. It's mostly just muscle memory, but I don't ever have to think about memorizing. I just play, and usually it works out. Lately though, I've gotten more worried. It has happened several times during performances that I think stupid thoughts like "which tone comes next?". If I don't think those thoughts, it's never a problem, but as soon as they come to mind, I get distracted. One performance, I even started at the wrong octave, simply because I got paranoid. But a good side to this is that now that I've experienced this terrible thing and now that it has ruined my performances several times, I've learned how it feels and what the worst thing that can happen is. That on its own kind of takes away the fear element.

I've been struggling with the things you mentioned for 11 YEARS, so basically, every time I went on a stage. things like having paranoid thoughts, even starting at the wrong octave (which is very funny on the other side,, 'cause i really had no idea where the hack was i supposed to start the piece from). Unfortunately, till the last performance, I couldn't overcome this fear of stage. Just lately I've started to look at things a bit differently and really just play for my own satisfaction, 'cause it really makes me happy. I don't really know how well I'm doing so far, i've not performed in front of the audience yet, but i really feel like I'm doing better and better.

​@@yourpersonaljesus3802 It's interesting looking back at this 2-3 years later. I guess after a while you just realize that there are more important things to focus on than distracting thoughts. In my past few concerts at the conservatory I've been so focused on what to think about (musically) during a performance and how to improve my playing as much as possible, that I haven't had any room for other thoughts, especially on stage. A friend of mine had a blackout though, and we talked a lot about it. He couldn't finish one of the movements and had to move on. I think in a situation like that it's about how you handle the situation - if you take it somewhat lightly and just move on the audience definitely won't hate you for it. We're all human after all! I hope you'll get over the thoughts though! In the end it's about realizing that they're pointless and to replace them with thoughts that, quite the opposite, benefit the performance positively. At least that's what worked for me - actively practicing what to think about when performing and how it influences the result.

I have told many students who came into our home about #3. Getting too anxious about "getting ready" for that one hard part and ignoring what you are playing is only going to make it worse. Taking things one measure at a time and, if you must, even just think "I don't need to worry about that part, I've done it during practice so I can do it when it comes." And if you still mess up, whatever, just move on and keep practicing. And #5!! Oh, #5!!!!! I can't tell you how much I need to practice performing before it's showtime for me. Play more for people and it will help when you play for more people when it really counts!

When i grew up my parents were like judges to my playing. I never felt in pressure until i began to think of playing the Piano as serious stuff. When some guys or your parents see you have potential, sometimes you are challenged to music you never played before or heard. I played classical stuff and i am from Perú(our mostly popular music used Internationally is Criolla's music). Wich i only heard like 10 times in my whole life. My parents loved that music and wanted me to play. Of course i had a piano mentor(asked him but wasn't his speciality). I tried and tried by myself and made it happened. I am so proud now. That achievement broken a lot of nervous stuff but not all of it. We have weaknesses and mine was getting my fingers frozen at springs(this made my piano practising harder than everything i did by myself). I solved this by getting Centrum Vitamins. I am a happy piano player right now.

I find that it helps my nerves a lot to play in a packed auditorium... packed with empty seats, that is! ; - ) All kidding aside, thanks very much for your advice here, Josh. Another thing that helps (if the performer has the luxury to actually undertake it) is to greet members of the audience as they are filling the perfrmance room/concert hall and thank them for coming. This helped me a great deal in the somewhat informal atmosphere of a performance room in which I was just about to give a harpsichord recital. Thanks again for all of your very helpful pianist's advice videos, Josh.

Thank you for your advices! I would like to ask, before all these technologies such as videos, camera and so on came. How did the pianists back in the days practice performing please? Yes you can invite your friends and so on, but it don’t believe that you can invite friends every single time you practice, yes? Thank you very much!

Thanks for the advice Josh! This topic is extremely relevant to me as I'm preparing for important piano exams that are fast approaching. The main struggle I have is caring too much about what other people are thinking while I play and it makes me tense up incredibly which is such a hinderance to my performances. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated! :)

No one can make me perform a song in front of my teacher, not even for free. But I love performing in front of people I don’t know. Some people enjoy practicing performing, I don’t like practicing performing just to add emphasis in a song I’ve played a million times.

Thanks so much! Tomorrow i've got a peformance . I'm playing claire de lune . But on the fast part, before I play it , i get so nervous about it, beacause i know i can't play it perfectly . Sometimes i forget it and don't think about it , but other times it's the only thing I think of .. i just can't controll it . Even though I try not to think about it . Still thank you very much ! These tips sure helped!
