Jennifer Roig-Francoli - No More Performance Anxiety!
Learn how to Practice Less, Perform Better, and Overcome Performance Anxiety with Suzuki violinist and Alexander technique Teacher Jennifer Roig-Francoli and Michael Jamanis.
Want to get rid of performance anxiety?
Feeling frustrated with your practice?
Find out how the Alexander Technique work for violinists!
On this episode of Music Un-tuxed, classical violinist
Jennifer Roig-Francoli and Michael Jamanis share some great tips for overcoming performance anxiety and practicing less to gain more.
The key to great playing is great practicing.
If you practice with pleasure and joy and ease, you will perform with ease and pleasure.
If you “push and force and grind” out your practice, all of that tension will show up when you perform.
Here are three of their top tips:
1. Embrace Not Knowing: They talk about how it's totally okay to not have all the answers and how embracing this mindset can help ease the pressure and allow for more genuine self-expression.
2. Prioritize Self-Care: Jennifer stresses the importance of taking care of yourself and finding inner ease, which can lead to better artistic performance.
3. Mindfulness and Centering: The Alexander technique, as discussed in the podcast, can help you become more aware of your thoughts and reactions, which in turn can reduce anxiety and boost your confidence during performances.
