Re: Going to die... very soon... mid-state auditions are coming!

I have to graciously pass along your compliments for the 5 and 1 method - it came straight out of the last pages of Peter Hadcock's book. He wrote that he wished he had figured it out many years beforehand when he was a student - so the sooner you learn it (or its variations) the faster you'll get where you want to be. I have a day job and simply cannot spend the time other students spend to learn their pieces and so have to make good use of the limited time available. Slow = Fast. Impatience often = slow as cold molasses and sometimes you end up never getting it.

Yes, I agree with the "take it easy" approach on the day before and the day of. Reviewing the difficult parts of the music and playing them way under tempo helps keep the nerves at bay.

If you know your music so well at this point, what about adding that next dimention to your playing by recording yourself? That could just unnerve you enough now so that by the time you're in there you're already used to someone (or something) listening to you.

You'll probably do pretty well. Believe in yourself, and follow the excellent advice given here.
