I always tend to get really nervous when playing the flute in front of a crowd of people. My mouth twitches and my hands get really shaky. Is there a way to psyche yourself up so that even if you do get stage fright, you can still play the best you can?

Stop thinking, They're all going to laugh at me, and start thinking, they are going to love me.

I dance, so I channel my adrenaline into performing. It also helps to look above the people or at the sound booth or at something neutral, and just play like you've been playing in rehersal. Reason with yourself and since you've done fine before without people, you shouldn't have any trouble with them. You can pretend you're the best floutist in the world and that they're all cheering for you or listening just to you since you're so good, or you can go the other way and pretend that someone else is the best violinist or whatever and that everyone is watching them and listening to them so don't worry about what you do since they aren't looking at you to make you nervous. Whichever works best. It's easy to overcome as long as you believe you can.

first relax don't think about the notes just have fun .good or bad its about the feelings from within to relax and enjoy the stage . they will all like it no mater how you play.(we are the musicians and we are the dreamers of dreams)

the stage fright is a good thing once you learn how to use it, just rock out and have fun.

I am a DJ. I get nervous sometimes, but I just channel the energy into my show. I use my instincts and desire to succeed to keep it all going.

Practice practice practice, and then practice again.
The better rehearsed you are, the more comfortable you will be. If you have no doubts in your mind that you could play your piece in your sleep, it will show on stage.
