Ok I have Chair test 4days and already 2 passed and I did HORRIBLE but I know my music Inside out and so right when I hold up my instrument my nerves take over me so much I feel horrible I play the wrong stuff complety and too fast how to overcome these nerves??
it's totally a confidence thing you just have to know you want that chair and you can't let your nerves get in the way. think about it if you know the music inside and out you deserve the chair! your in controll. tap your foot along to keep a SLOW steady tempo. it may also help to practice in front of some of your friends ahead of time to get used to people being around. In the end you can do anything you set your mind to if you are confident and there's no reason not to be. If you make a mistake no big deal rock the rest of it. =] good luck you'll be great.
make certain you have your fingerings down, examine your intonation when you prepare, and stay calm! i've got seen a lot of human beings(myself blanketed) screw up their auditions because of fact they have been particularly, particularly apprehensive. Take some deep breaths earlier you audition and save a funky head. particularly, what's the extra severe which will ensue? You stay a 2d violin? in the grand scheme of issues, this could no longer make a lot of an impact, so in simple terms save cool and do your terrific~
