Try to block out everyone else, and breath- breath lots! I found that taking more breaths than I needed helped to calm me down a bit, although don't do it too heavily or people will think your having a panic attack...

As someone who has suffered badly from nerves like this, it can get frustrating, and I've had the same music teacher for 14 years, from the age of 5, and I still seize up, although not any more on clarinet....

And don't get frustrated! A tip I picked up from my teacher when learning a new piece or passage is essentially to forgo all dynamics- just play everything eccessively loudly, so that when it comes to playing difficult passages, you play it more confidently...kind of...

If its your teacher- they won't complain if you get a note wrong- they're there to help you improve!
