Afraid of concerts (violin)?
I've been playing the violin for 9 years now, but I'm probably not very good at it. I've always had an incredible fear of concerts, class evenings where you play in front of families and other students. Even when I could play a piece well at home, I still haven't been able to do it well in a concert. I always panic because I have the feeling that everyone, even the younger ones, is better. I have an exam soon which will decide whether I can continue my lessons. Last time I started to cry out of fear while I was getting feedback from the teacher. I'm so scared of it and I think I'm going to cry again. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. Any tips on how I can get rid of this enormous stage fright and these fears?

You can play well at home, but you’re afraid of audiences.
The professionals also started small. And there will always be someone who is better or better. There’s always air up there.

But if you have sweat breaks and a phobia, you should consider whether this musical instrument is the most up-to-date instrument for you?
Either break-off or continue or anything else or not at all.
Don’t be afraid I’ve still played trumpet a year ago in the school orchestra have always had huge fear of the concerts but then I get it because I told myself I can
So trust
You can do this already I’m pushing the thumbs

Thanks I will try <3
I know it’s been 4 months ago, but why do you get an exam if you can go on to class? That’s what I think is the greatest bullshit there is. You shouldn’t be the best violinist in the world. If violin is fun then do the best to play in front of audience and talk to your parents about it. Just because you don’t have a test means you don’t have to stop. I’d say that to my teacher. He can’t determine your life and hobbies. Besides, it doesn’t have to be yours. It can also be on the teacher. You have lessons so you get better and if you don’t have one more you can’t get better. So tell your parents and your teacher.
I believe there are exams because many sign up for the lessons and the teachers want to go for sure that you really have trouble and deserve the place
If you’re at a music school, that’s a real school where you’re doing maths, etc., I can understand that with the exam, it’s nothing more than a math work. But if you’re in a normal music school where you just get your instrument taught where it’s about having fun playing, I’d change the music school soooofoort. Also a private teacher search.

You may play too rarely. Try to change that. Musiziere with others, use every opportunity to play something in front of small audiences. It is a huge difference whether you play for an evaluation or make people happy with music. Many appearances bring routine. You don’t just learn to deal with your nervousness. It is much more important to learn not to let yourself be rested by a small mistake, but to play over. 90% of the audience don’t remember that.
I know such feelings very well.
I have been playing drums for 7 years and I have the feeling that I am (no longer) particularly good (because I have a new teacher). I play at school in the Big Band and we have about 6 concerts a year. I’m always afraid that I’m going to play, or that I’m generally too bad, even with the samples.
How do I cope with this? Simple answer for me: practice, practice, practice. Even if the pieces are really hard for me at first and I don’t think I’m very good, I always do the pieces at home until I can almost perfect them. That’s almost everything you need. I fight the excitement by praying before each rehearsal and every concert. I’m getting calm and not so excited about it.
