You will be preparing for your performance in many ways – doing warmups, memorizing music, working on technique…
It’s also important to do mental preparation! The list below comes from Mark Baxter’s lesson video on mental preparation for a performance.
Checklist – 7 Items
- _____ I have reminded myself that my performance is not an audition. I have already passed the audition; now people are coming to enjoy (and not judge) the performance!
- _____ I’ve told myself, “I am good enough to do this.”
- _____ I’ve thought through the logistics of travel
- _____ I have made a plan for what I am going to wear
- _____ I have formed a sense of the timing – when I am going to practice, leave the house, start setting up, etc.
- _____ I have made a list of things for which I can have gratitude – no matter how small.
- _____ (for frequent performers:) I’ve made some small changes to get out of ruts (clothing, position on stage, set list, song tempo etc.)
