I thought I was weird. Wow, it feels good to know I'm not alone in that.]]> 2022-02-25 18:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2066819561 megangarrett2 https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2066819893 Other people worry about messing up too? I didn't know that.]]> 2022-02-25 18:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2066819893 megangarrett2 https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2066820356 I always sweat a lot before concerts, but I had no idea it could be related to anxiety. That makes sense now!]]> 2022-02-25 18:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2066820356 I actually have really bad anxiety to begin with so yes, I experience a lot of these symptoms. The #1 thing that scares me is that I only have 1 chance to show all the people I care about in the audience that I'm good. https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2066877345 2022-02-25 19:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2066877345 https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2066894373 Everytime before a conert, my heart is always start to beat really fast. I think that has to do with anxiety.]]> 2022-02-25 19:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2066894373 Just in one practice on stage, i forgot to check if my snare was on, and now i'm anxious that something else is gonna go wrong. To top it off, i developed stage fright after i messed up in a play in elementary school, when i was the main character, so im already super anxious anyway, and this made it worse. I feel a lot better knowing other people go through the same stuff and they don't let it stop them either. :) https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2067855955 2022-02-27 02:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2067855955 Clarinet Squeaking https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2069539017 At my first beginning band concert, my reed squeaked louder than the whole band. A year later, I still worry that it'll happen again.]]> 2022-02-28 14:14:38 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2069539017 Stress and Anxiety of a Concert https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2069838806 When playing my instrument in rehearsal I typically don't get scared if I mess up. Normally, if I do, we just keep going and we'll practice that spot again. Now in a concert, I know that if I mess up we can keep going, but now everyone knows that, for example, clarinet player squeaked or that trombone player let out the wrong note. Which stresses me out because what if I mess up so bad that we have to restart. In conclusion, concerts aren't really my thing because of stress and anxiety ]]> 2022-02-28 16:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2069838806 Double-Buzzing or Bulldog Growling on Trombone https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2070444984 I find the hardest thing to overcome on trombone is to keep your embouchure perfectly square and keeping your corners back difficult. If you don't keep these in check, what I find to happen is getting a double-buzz quite often.]]> 2022-02-28 23:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2070444984 https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2070678060 Well, I usually get really nervous before I get there, especially if I'm playing in front of upperclassmen, as I respect them as people more experienced than me. I begin to panic, having symptoms that almost resemble a panic attack, and sometimes I feel like crying. Luckily seeing everyone so excited tends to calm me down.]]> 2022-03-01 03:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2070678060 Trombone Concert playing https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2076237452 When I was playing the trombone at the concert I didn't really feel scared it was more so that I was afraid to fail and humiliate myself in front of everyone.]]> 2022-03-03 16:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2076237452 The concert me a bit stressed and i felt like i was gonna mess up badly https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2078316522 2022-03-04 17:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2078316522 Missing a note https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2080162468 I get nervous because I feel like I'm gonna miss a note and it will be noticeable.]]> 2022-03-06 18:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/megangarrett2/4e6kkh7r0rtnsm5y/wish/2080162468
