Before performing, I remind myself of the specific sections in the music that I need to focus on, which can be stressful.

In a concert, unexpected things can happen, and I train myself to return my focus to the music.

I practice slowly and in sections, staying appreciative, aware, and focused, which helps me practice better and struggle less.

Before entering powerful environments, I remind myself that I was invited there, which helps me feel confident.

A silly mindset helps me perform at my best on stage, allowing me to connect with the audience more effectively.

I've had concerts where everything goes wrong, yet I perform well, which I attribute to a carefree attitude that allows me to play freely.

You can discover your own concentration span during practice sessions, which can help you understand how to improve your focus when performing. When performing, I focus on the next part of the piece to avoid distractions and keep my mind engaged.

Being happy in general helps me approach concerts with a positive mindset, focusing on sharing music rather than performance pressure.

I pray for clarity of mind and the ability to help others through my work, trusting that this process serves the listeners.
