Stage fright is a way of reacting habitually to the stimulus of playing in public. Working with the principles of the Alexander Technique can help you learn to respond differently to this stimulus, and to the excitement of performing, recording and creating music. A community of musicians is an ideal way to support this kind of work and practice. Group lessons with other musicians can help bridge the gap between individual work and playing in public. I consider private lessons to be most helpful for in-depth study but group lessons can be beneficial in certain situations such as this.
