yeah! i get really nervous too! i tremble a lot when i perform. i don't know, it doesn't seem to fade away. amee said she overpractices... i hope it helps.

[amee]

Yeah same here.  I get really nervous, I guess there isn't a direct remedy to it.  Some people cope with nervousness a lot better than others as well.

Amee's right. Some people naturally do better under pressure than others. Here's some hints that help me under pressure:

*Wear gloves to keep your hands warm
*Breathing technique- put your thumb over one nostril keeping the other open. Breath deep, and then, at the peak of your breath, put your pinky over the other nostril and exhale. I know it sounds stupid but it really works!
*Don't practice the same day of the performance. If it is ready, the piece will come naturally.

Hope these help!

I agree with Celeste.

Do not touch the piano on the day of the performance, and on the day before, just go through your pieces slowly, making sure every note is exact.

really? i used to do that! i wake up early to practice same day of a performance!
