Hi, I am new and I have stage fright.

Hi, I have a piano recital coming up and I am really nervous. Last time I played at a recital, I messed up at the end and the audience laughed at me. I really don't want to play at a recital again. Does anybody have any ideas?

Just keep in mind that everyone that laughed has messed something up at some point. Laugh with them . making mistakes part of learning.

Thank you! I should actually try that. My recital is actually in one day now.

Yes...shame on them for laughing, that's not nice at all! How would they feel if it happened to them? That's one thing wrong with this world, lots of people think of only themselves, not others. I believe in you or you wouldn't be in a recital! Hope will grow if you believe! XXX
