| Practice these ways:
On one or two days practice wearing the clothes you're going to wear.
On one or two days play for everyone in your family and, if possible, ask a friend to be there as well, preferably a friend who doesn't know much of anything about music.
Find out what it's like to take a very full breath before you play but don't HOLD your breath before you play. Breath in, breath out.
Drop and give me fifteen pushups and then play through your piece. Take as big a breath as you can before you start. |
