As a seasoned performer, you might think you should be over your stage fright by now. ?

After all, you’ve spent so much of your life performing and you’ve shared your music with thousands of people over the years.

And yet, your nerves keep getting the better of you, preventing you from consistently giving your best performance. ?

It’s really hard to feel optimistic about your playing and conjure up the self-confidence you need when you can’t stop thinking about what might go wrong.

To make matters worse, you keep comparing yourself to others who seem more successful ? and your playing never feels as free as you’d like it to be.

You might be surprised, but a very large percentage of professional musicians ? suffer from a lack of confidence and performance anxiety – even if it’s not visible to you or anyone else.

Since it’s so common, it’s easy to find advice on what to do about stage fright. In fact, you may have tried some or all of the following already to help you calm down before a performance:

? Taking beta blockers or recreational drugs that make you worry about dependency

?? Meditation or breathing exercises that help… until the moment you start playing

? Driving yourself crazy over-practicing…and then STILL feel nervous when you’re on the spot, no matter how many hours you’ve put in.

The problem is, none of these really solves the stage fright problem by getting to the root of the anxiety, which has everything to do with how you integrate your everyday life and practice with your performance. ❌

? You need a solution that doesn’t just mask the anxiety or calm you down when you’re away from your instrument. 

You need a simple system with a quick daily practice that helps you:

✔️ observe your reactions to your inner and outer experience, free of judgment;

✔️ choose a different response which is brings ease to your mind and body;

✔️ do this before you go onstage, as you prepare to play, and while you’re playing.

✅ The Art of Freedom® Method for conscious living and masterful artistry gives you a step-by-step (and drug-free) system to:

? Recognize the instant your anxiety is triggered, and know exactly how to quickly calm your nervous system before you spiral out of control.

? Balance your mind, body, and emotions, and bring more relaxed awareness and presence to your music-making on a daily basis – long before you get into a performance situation.

? Learn how to release tension and control your reactions while you play, so that YOU are in charge of your own experience, instead of being a victim of your circumstances.

Imagine what a difference it could make in your life to know that you have the tools to be calm, confident, and in control on stage, no matter the situation.

To be able to…

…quiet your nervous system on command. ?

…think clearly and fearlessly express your musical passion. ?

…enjoy the energy in the room and interact freely with your audience. ?
