thanks again.

I have just had a good look at performance anxiety on lots of musical sites. It clearly is a problem for lots of musicians.

I was looking for 6 easy tricks, which I guess is a bit simple minded. I did find some of that although tricks didn't sem too simple.

The fight/flight/freeze business is well rehearsed and seems to lie at the heart of the problem.

Some current learning theories explore this - all that brain gym and brain-based learning (is their another kind of learning?) and drinking water stuff.

Sound familiar?
