🎯 Most pianists think they’re ready to perform when they can play their piece straight through. But if you’ve ever blanked on stage or felt like your fingers turned to jelly, you know: that’s not enough.

In this video, I’ll show you how to prepare for a piano performance using research-backed techniques from performance psychology, biomechanics, and deliberate practice. If you want to learn how to play piano like a professional—confidently, expressively, and under pressure—this video is your roadmap.

Recover from memory slips without panic

Stay focused even when your mind wants to wander

Play with confidence—even if you're nervous

Practice in ways that actually prepare you for the real thing

Whether you're preparing for a recital, competition, or just want to feel confident and expressive when you play for others, this video will help you feel ready on the first try—no matter what happens on stage.
