Performance anxiety is a pretty horrible experience that affects a surprisingly large number of musicians. Quite apart from any effects it has on how well you play, it can suck the pleasure out of an activity that should be a source of intense joy.

If you want to beat anxiety completely and feel fearless with music then that's definitely possible, but it's usually not that quick a process. However, there ARE lots of really helpful things that you can do straight away.

This video gives you 6 simple tips that you can use in the moment to help you reduce any nerves you feel.

1. Breathe
2. Reframe nerves as excitement
3. Think about what the audience wants
4. People don't pay as much attention to you as you think
5. Remember the audience is on your side
6. Replace unhelpful thoughts
