\"Performance<\/p>\n

Performance anxiety can threaten to affect, and in some cases end, some performers\u2019 careers. Most performers feel nervous before performing, and some can thrive on it; however in some cases the anxiety can be disabling. Performers suffering from debilitating performance anxiety find this distress interferes significantly with their ability to perform at a reasonably expected level. (Kenny, 2011)<\/p>\n

Anxiety<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When this occurs, many anxious thoughts may enter a musician\u2019s mind about performance. This anxiety can produce physiological, behavioural, and cognitive reactions. Some performers will experience performance-threatening symptoms such as trembling hands, dry mouth, and sweaty palms. Distorted thoughts and illogical thinking can also play destructive role in a musician\u2019s confidence and self-esteem. Seeing yourself as a \u201cbad\u201d musician only consumes your mental energy and distracts you from focusing on the performance task at hand.<\/p>\n
