I am here on stage

Master Research
Stage fright is the biggest problem of my life as a musician. I would like to find a way to solve my problem through this research.
This research is consisted out of two parts. In the first part, I observed performance anxiety from many angles: I have read theory, learned from other people’s experiences, gathered tips and tricks, consulted with a doctor. By doing this, it guide me to find the materials to use for the second part of my research, which is the experiment, where I tried out exercises both for body and mind to see how they affect my performance in the real concert situation. In the end, I did find some strategies that work for me. Importantly, this research also helped me to get to know myself in a way that I never knew before and I hope that the insights that I have gathered can be of help to other musicians struggling with the same problem.
