Some years ago I came across an article on a topic dear to the performer's heart. It is a very good distillation of what I teach and practice. That is, when we walk out on stage we need to have a good conscience; we shouldn't judge ourselves (the post mortem comes afterward); we should focus and concentrate, staying in the moment. Remember, too, that the body communicates to the brain what it is experiencing during performance; the brain may get the message that something didn't sound right because it didn't feel right. (More about this in another blog.) Did I just hear someone sigh, "easy for you to say"? You can read the article here: Six Golden Rules for Conquering Performance Anxiety.

Thank you so much for this most helpful article. I am posting the 'Golden Rules' in my studio now. As a adult pianist aspiring to become a professional, my major difficulty is anxiety when performing, especially in front of my teachers and/or other piano students. These are exceptional rules to keep in mind and I will be using them while moving forward in my studies. Much appreciated. Thank you!
