Music performance anxiety (MPA), otherwise known as stage fright, affects nearly all musicians in some way or another, and it often leads many musicians to abandon music or use maladaptive coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms. In this workshop, we will learn strategies from cognitive-behavioural psychology, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and sports psychology to help us manage our experience of stage fright as it appears in the body and mind, and learn to develop new patterns of behaviour that will improve our experience of music-making while also helping us to perform more musically and accurately on the instrument. There will be interactive exercises and audience participation, and there will be time at the end for any questions you may have.

Note: this workshop will not be recorded.

Date: Sunday, January 23, 2022
Time: 4-5pm Eastern (1-2pm Pacific)

Presenter: Daniel Ramjattan, M.Mus.
