When I play slidetrombone in public I am not nervous...but now for the keyboard performance...I do have them. I hope they will go away ones I am playing.
Wish me good luck...I will need it.

Hello Alain, I remember feeling the same way, hoping that I did not make to many erors. There were nights when I went home completely exhausted, I was destroyed. Not much fun!!!

This is what I did and still do. It is personal, but I do believe it has been my helper.

1-On the way to the job, I pray to my God. I ask that my hands be guided, and most of all, that my emotions do not stand in my way. At first I was so suprised that this short prayer made such a difference in my playing--I really don't know why I was surpised.

God + you + your keyboard = Enjoyment.

Enjoy this day, John C

2-You need some of those nervous feeling to play well. It give much of the excitement.
