Lori - I recommend "The Inner Game of Tennis" by W. Timothey Gallwey and
"A Soprano on Her Head" by Eloise Riistad(sp?)[Ten Speed Press, Berkeley,
I think]. This may not help your
immediate problem, but will give you food for thought about what causes
the problem, and how to cure it.

You may find that you can reduce the jitters if you focus on Weber's
Concertino, instead of worrying about what the audition committee will
think of you and your playing. Easy for me to say!!

Good luck!
