Managing Stage Fright: A Guide for Musicians and Music Teachers by Julie Jaffee Nagel

Tame Stage Fright and Springboard to a Great Performance!

For many musicians, it seems that no matter how much they practice and prepare for a performance, they have not been able to overcome their final roadblock. This groundbreaking new book by Julie Jaffee Nagel, Ph.D., is the most comprehensive and useful guide to positively addressing performance anxiety. As a concert pianist and Juilliard graduate, Dr. Nagel's own performance anxiety got in the way of her performance, and, more importantly, interfered with living her life fully. As a psychoanalyst in private practice today, Dr. Nagel has brought her unique vantage point, her wealth of experience, as well as her patients' experiences, to her new book. Written especially for performers, Dr. Nagel's writing style is clear, engaging and practical, which will be appreciated by any performer struggling with stage fright. Filled with short lessons and activities, this book can be thought of as a pedagogy for solving this age-old problem. Enthusiastically endorsed by some of the world's foremost artists and teachers, such as Arnold Steinhardt (Guarneri Quartet) and Leon Fleisher (concert pianist).
