Product Information
Why is it that well-prepared, talented, hardworking, and intelligent performers find their performance and self-esteem undermined by the fear of memory slips, technique failures, and public humiliation? In Managing Stage Fright: A Guide for Musicians and Music Teachers, author Julie Jaffee Nagel unravels these mysteries, taking the reader on an intensive backstage tour of the anxious performer's emotions to explain why stage fright happens and what performers can do to increase their comfort in the glare of the spotlight. Examining the topic from her interdisciplinary educational, theoretical, clinical, and personal perspectives, Nagel uses the music teacher/student relationship as a model for understanding the performance anxiety that affects musicians and non-musicians alike. Shedding new light on how the performer's emotional life is connected to every other facet of their life, Managing Stage Fright encourages a deeper understanding of anxiety when performing. The guide offers strategies for achieving performance confidence, emphasizing the relevance of mental health in teaching and performing. Through the practices of self-awareness outlined in the book, Nagel demonstrates that it is possible and desirable for teachers to assist students in developing the coping skills and attitudes that will allow them to not feel overwhelmed and powerless when they experience strong anxiety. Each chapter contains insights that help teachers recognize the symptoms-obvious, subtle, and puzzling-of the emotional grip of stage fright, while offering practical guidelines that empower teachers to empower their students. The psychological concepts offered, when added to pedagogical techniques, are invaluable in music performance and in a variety of life situations since, after all, music lessons are life lessons.Product Identifiers

A serious, but readily accessible book, on the subject of performance anxiety.
This book dealt with so many of the underlying reasons that I have been a pusillanimous - lacking in courage - musician (an amateur) - all my life, and why doing anything in public, or just one to one with my excellent guitar teacher seems to fill me with dread. And even to the extent of being reluctant to practice for fear of making mistakes! One needs to concentrate on what is written for it is a serious, but readily accessible book. For me there have been many real breakthrough moments of understanding in this book. I am most grateful to the author, Julie Jaffee Nagel, for bringing her professional skills as a musician, psychologist, and psychoanalyst in to this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
