Hi Ray! Love what you do, your positivity, and your exuberance whenever you’re performing!
I’m about to graduate as an undergrad violin major, and have stubbornly and ambitiously charged towards chasing stages and performing professionally in the future!
However, my biggest worry is that adrenaline and self-doubt easily gets the better of me when I perform solo (never with chamber or orchestra strangely!) — do you have any tips or advice on how to best redirect the shakes/anxiety when playing on stage? Your stage presence and conviction is so inspiring and I’d love to be able to radiate that energy too!
