Dear Musician,

If you play your instrument for an audience once in a while, or you have done it in the past, this e-mail is for you, and we need your help.

Call it as you like: Stage fright? Nerves? The jitters? Butterflies in your stomach? No matter what you call it, most musical performers, from the most novice to the most experienced professional, have experienced performance anxiety in one form or another. Many things can lead a person to feel nervous or anxious in a musical performance setting, and performance anxiety can manifest itself in countless ways - both positive and negative.

Additionally, there's an endless array of strategies for managing performance anxiety to minimize its detriments - everything from meditation before a performance to lucky charms on your music stand. Performance anxiety is such a fascinating, multi-faceted, relatable topic, and so we'd like to hear from you. What kinds of things make you nervous about musical performance? How does performance anxiety affect you? What strategies have helped you manage stage fright? Please take some time to follow the link below and thoughtfully complete our latest, short survey:
