I’m giving a clinic on performance/stage presence for musicians next week at the Jazz Education Network conference. Clinic’s called “Combining Chops and Soul”. What performance questions do you have? I am gathering some feedback. Do you have questions about: -Chops v/s audience engagement (i.e. is it more important to think about technique or stage-presence while performing?)? -Performance anxiety? -Audience psychology? -How to stand? -Where you put your hands? -What to say in between songs? -To joke or not to joke? -What to wear…? -How the heck do I stop feeling so awkward? I want to know your most common issues and questions about putting on a genuine, memorable performance. Let the comments begin!
Question for you!
