I once performed as part of a big group of players giving a concert down in London. The programme was so popular they put it on 3 nights in a row (same programme). First night everyone was nervous. It was the best performance, full of energy and drive. Second night no-one was nervous. It was flat. So I totally agree a little bit of nerves is actually a good thing.
Great story, Colin. Thanks for sharing. I get the same thing. The biggest danger signal if there's no feeling of "excitement" (I prefer thinking of it tthat way rather than as nerves). That doesn't mean the feeling is necessarily pleasant. But knowing that it's helpful rather than a bad thing makes a huge difference...
How do we know what direction to go in with music can we map out a plan ?
These principles apply to all of us regardless of skill level.
Glad you found it useful, Theodore.
Brilliant. But the issue is the fear response from the first two things. That is where the disabling effect comes in. Is it a moral strength matter at that point?
I find it makes a big difference when you know that the response is normal and that it won't necessarily hurt your playing. The initial fear response is the same either way. But when you see it as a bad thing you worry about the fact that it's happening and you can get into a downward spiral. When you're ok with the response it's still not fun... but there's no downward spiral so you're in a much better position.
Important video, again. But - I do not know whether it is just today and problem in my net, or is is on your video, the visual and audio signals are not in sync. (Just wanted to send a notice)
Thanks, Mervi. I don't think it's a problem with the syncing. I was trying out a different lighting setup - everything looked fine when I checked the picture before recording but afterwards I discovered that my camera had recorded at a VERY low framerate (presumably because of lower light). I think that's what's making things look strange.
