AHHHH!!! I'm so Nervous!!

Wish me luck on my Piano Recital today.. -_-

EDIT: Gah!! I mean pray that I dont mess up terribly

Aww! Good luck on it!

I have performed at a few piano recitals myself. Just know that there is no reason to be nervous! You will be great!

This is my 2nd one....... Thanx!! ^-^

Tell us how it goes okay?

Thank you so much guys! ^_^
I did ok for my 2nd recital! Sadly I didnt do as good as I could of because I didnt practice as much as I could of hehe.
Both of my songs had pedal.....and I couldnt control my leg from bounceing up and down from the pedal!! 0_o
It felt really uncomfortable. I mean it was going up and down shaking relly fast. at one point I had to take my foot off.
It was like I was sitting on a nerve. I was SOOOOOO Nervous I was shaking all over.Thanx!!

It'll get better eventually. Performing in front of people takes some practice and eventually you'll get used to it. I still get a little zing of anxeity when i paly sometimes, but its become easy to ignore.

Aww, it's ok, Ranchluva. I would always get nervous (more like my hands got nervous) whenever I would have to do a recital. I couldn't get my hands to stop shaking! Well, you can turn this into a good thing because you will know what to look out for in the next recital. Practice does help, a lot. But, you probably did a lot better than you thought you did!

Which songs did you play?

(The were both disney songs) (I chose this) "Go the Distance"
From Hercules <- looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong song for me 6 pgs
And (My mom chose this) "So This is Love" From Cinderella

Which one of those did you like the best? I'm guessing it was the one you chose?

Next time don't pick one that is so long to begin with.As far as it goes everyone gets stage fright so don't think you're the only one who was nervous.Yeah,more practice helps but you have to stay calm and centered as well.Try relaxing a bit
before playing and take your time.Also ignore the audience,pretend that you're playing for yourself.

I used to get shaky knees whenever I had to play at violin recitals, which is bad when you have to stand and try to bow smoothly ^^;

At least at piano recitals one can try to hide behind the piano. Although there was that one time that I had to play on a keyboard facing the audience. Apparently I have a bad habit of grimacing every single time I miss a note.

I'm sure you did fine ^^ Usually the audience doesn't even notice nervousness and if they do, they tend to sympathize. It never quite goes away, but with experience the nervousness during a performance starts to turn into an adrenaline rush, which can actually benefit a performance and make the whole experience kinda fun.

Actually I like so This is love better....it was easier haha!!

Yeah well it was a VERY small recital....and luckily they are all chrisians!! ^-^
Most of my family didnt see my leg shaking but my Aunt did haha
My leg totally knocked me off from playing good. I messed up alot -_-
Yeah when I got to the end of "So This is love" I totally wasnt reading my sheet music (Trying to remember it from memorizing) so I started guessing which note to hit like 4 times.. GAH!! *Hits head* Stupid me I totally Sighed to myself and sad quietly "Great" haha My Girl Cuz heard that. Finally I looked at my Sheet music and was like oh thats right duh!!

But it was fun!! ^_^
Please pray for my Dance Recital Today!!! ^-^ (Yes Another recital)
At least this time there will be music and other girls to dance with ha ha its my 1st time! Yay!!
