Vanessa Cornett presents “Performance Anxiety Management for Musicians”
Stage fright is a universal challenge for musicians of all ages. Since the body’s natural stress response cannot distinguish a real threat from an imagined one, most musicians experience pre-performance feelings ranging from mild jitters to overwhelming dread. Join us to discover the roots of stage fright and learn some practical solutions for long-term anxiety management.
