Subj: [kl] Preparing for auditions
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:38:45 -0400

I would like to know what some of you do to mentally prepare for
auditions. I know-practice, practice, practice, and..practice some
more! But I can practice the music to the point of memorization, and
just get nervous at the last second.

I once had a wonderful friend who was a concertmaster tell me to just
enjoy the music. I do while I am practicing and can go into an audition
and not play my best.
