    EP 5: The Taboo of Performance Anxiety

    Join Mindy and Polina this week on the topic of performance anxiety! So many musicians suffer from nerves and anxiety prior to getting up onstage but it is not widely admitted or discussed. This episode focuses on why musicians experience nerves, how it can actually be a good thing, purple polar bears, tennis, and the mystery of Liszt's massive untitled work.   Follow us on instagram and YouTube: @ftprpodcast.  * Quick disclaimer: We had some microphone tech difficulties but we will have it fixed by next episode!
