If you have any need to perform in public, or work with people who have to perform in public, then buy this book! With its simple to understand advice and easy to follow execises I have dramatically reduced the performance anxieties that were holding back a number of my students. There is something in here for everyone, and not just musicians...honestly. This book works and doesn't contain any of the nonsense you see in so many others, just good advice backed up with good arguments.

Buswell really has excelled in providing the reader with a) a dissertation on easy to use techniques to combat performance anxiety, b) an academic basis for further reading (the author refers to several other writers and practitioners) and c) a clear a concise layout; the use of double spacing and arial (?) font really does make this book very user-friendly and easy to follow.
A performing musician myself for the last 10 years, I have often suffered from severe performance anxiety which unfortunately has occasionally led to poor delivery in the formal performance setting. Buswell explains thoroughly and convincingly exactly how to rid these emotions, both good and bad, which so often develop into bad breathing, sweating, tingling, shaking hands/legs etc, through a series of activities such as self hypnosis, visualisation and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming).
There may be better books out there, but this really is worth buying if you're suffering from any of the above!

"If you suffer from stage fright and performance anxiety then help is at hand. One of the top psycologists in the performing arts, David Buswell, who has been working with leading musicisans ono-to-one for many years to help them perform at their best, has written a book to help. Performance strategies for Musicians has applications for anyone who has to perform in public. The book aims to help performers develop mental resilience, gain the most from practice time, prepare for performance (by using mental preparation techniques and creating pre-performance routines) and manage emotional and physical states during performance".
