Have you tried yoga? I like to step outside and do a few stretches and
postures before I play. It clears your mind and lets you think about
something other than what will happen in a few moments. It also helps to
regulate your breathing and strengthens your posture.

Subject: [kl] Performance Anxiety techniques/remedies

Besides prescription meds, Alexander technique and bananas, anyone
have any tips/tricks/natural herbal remedies that have worked to
minimize performance anxiety? I started reading "Inner Game of
Music" which some of the techniques help, but Im just seeking other
alternatives. Thanks for any info.

a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to
art." - Charlie Parker
