Solo Contest...NOOOOO

9 years ago

This weekend I have to play a solo in front of a judge. This weekend there is a contest. This week I have to find a dress. OH NO. I'm freaking scared. I really want to score a one but I fear I'm going to be so nervous I am going to mess up every single note with too much vibrato.

I hope this is not some sort of trap. If you want some advice, don't worry. (Yeah, it sounds cliché.)  As long as you practice enough on whatever piece of music that you have to perform (or just your instrument itself), then instincts will take over. The more you worry/fear that you are going to make a mistake, the more likely you are going to let it mess with your head when playing in front of the judge. I have learnt that from a ton of experience.
So... don't let the stress or fear get to you. Finally, don't pay attention to the judge when performing. My listeners almost always make me loose my concentration when I look at them.
I hope this helps. If not, then I hope you laugh at my failed attempt (because laugher sooths people).

I think you will do just fine. I mean you had the ability to change me. You shouldn't be scared. You have talent for everything.

Maybe the iconic little black dress.

So I'm reading that you have a contest to find a dress while playing a solo? Are you allowed to stop playing while trying on the dress, or does it count against you if you pause?

Don't worry, just take a deep breath and think of something silly or funny that will make you forget about the nervousness, it worked for me.

?EDIT: Sorry, I just noticed this...

My instructor for choir said to look at her if I got nervous. I got real nervous and did it. It made me lose ALL NERVOUSNESS.
