Imagine yourself in a room filled
with people whose eyes are fixated on you, intently waiting for you to begin
playing the piano. Your hands are sweaty, trembling with fear and anxiety. Your
mind is going blank, forgetting half of the piece which took you several months
to perfect. All the while, the judges are staring at you, just waiting to critique
that first note. This is pretty much me whenever I have to play the piano in
front of people who I don’t know. It’s kind of funny because while I play, my
mind is completely out of the music. I’m thinking about what the judges will
think about my playing and I lose all my sense of confidence. This
anxiety-filled sensation has led to my fear of recitals. Maybe it stems from my
shy and timid nature, but even after having many, many opportunities to play in
front of others, I can’t seem to completely overcome this fear. But the thing
that I love about it is the overjoying sense of accomplishment that you get
after the performance.
