On this episode I mini-interview 2 of my actual students one current and one past: Mary and Tyler.

They each have overcome a lot to be able to perform as well as they do. They share what has been helpful as they've learned to manage performance anxiety.

Check out my next masterclass "Performance without Anxiety" Where I can teach you teachers what I taught them, and so much more!

Heart beating,

palms sweating,

breathing faster,

hard to concentrate….you know what that means….stage
fright or performance anxiety.

Something we all deal with to some extent, and our goal is not to stop feeling nervous, but work with it, and bring in the good feelings with helpful thoughts!

Inthis episode, I share what has worked for me as a pianist, what I learned from my college professors, and my own experience as an independent studio teacher.
And of course what has worked for my piano students!

We discuss the thoughts that cause
those physical sensations, and what to replace them with

Much more in-depth discussion, including the similarity between feeling nervous and excited, what students think others think about them, what experts have taught me, and more personal experiences, at a live zoom masterclass on this topic.

mark your calendars for:

Thursday April 11th 10:30 am Mountain Tiime

Have you or your students experienced these worst-case scenarios?


Go up to perform…can’t remember the
starting notes.
Or the performance is going pretty well, then get stuck and can’t finish!
Or a huge break in the middle or skipped parts!

Mortifying! Traumatic even!

I know from experience!

I share some masterful ideas to help students
play by heart.

I‘d recommend pausing this episode and clicking on episode 41 “teach how they learn, 3 sensory modes” for an overview of visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learners. In this episode 63 I talk specifically about how to teach piano memorization differently to the 3 different learning styles. One thing that helps us all….Starting places! Have you heard of them?

 .

Let me show you these and more memorization hacks in a live Zoom Masterclass next week: Memorization Mastery.

Thursday, March 21st. 10:30 am Mountain time.

See you there!
