Actually, he said warming to his subject, the reverse is interesting too. As someone who has never performed music in public, but has done a lot of theatre, I notice that people who are self-conscious about how people are reacting to their performance lose all pleasure in participating in the creation of a piece, and become choppy and disconnected. So for the reverse problem to the one originally posed -- get people who are performance shy in music to focus on the experience of playing to take their mind off their how they are appearing? Hmmm. yours, Peter T.
