				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most performers deal with stage fright, at least to a certain degree.  What&#8217;s the best way to combat it? Besides making sure you have practiced thoroughly, there are several things that I have found effective:</p>
<p>1. Positive thoughts/visuals- leading up to performance, actually visualize yourself playing well and without anxiety.  Speaking your positivity out loud is also beneficial and is physically relaxing.</p>
<p>2. Breathe- being conscious of my deep breaths (both prior to and during playing)</p>
<p>3.  Think about the music- it sounds simple, but it&#8217;s surprisingly easy to perform and NOT think about the music.  Thinking about what you are trying to convey, how you are shaping each phrase, etc. helps.  Provided you&#8217;ve prepared well, you want to think of larger ideas and avoid analyzing every note as it goes by.</p>
<p>4.  Share the music with your audience- you are there to share this beautiful art with the audience, not worry about what they will think of you if you miss a note.  Keep the big picture in mind.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
