PERFORMANCE ANXIETY WORKSHOP FOR MUSICIANS

May 12th, 10am – 12pm

CENTERBROOK – Community Music School will be offering its popular Performance Anxiety Workshop specifically for musicians again this year, to be held on May 12, 2018 from 10 am to 12 pm.  Many musicians struggle with stage fright and this workshop will address all the usual symptoms including butterflies, trembling hands, a racing heart, or worse.  The workshop is open to the public and costs just $30 for a two hour interactive workshop.

CMS faculty member Cheryl Six will discuss the roots of performance anxiety, the common symptoms, the most popular remedies, and tricks, tips and techniques that you have probably never heard of!  This is your opportunity to listen, learn and share with other musicians.  You will leave feeling hopeful and prepared to tackle your performance anxiety head on.
