Iâm so glad you said what you did about self-confidence, performance anxiety and procrastination. It took me a LONG time to realize that procrastination was a symptom of low self-confidence, not the cause of it.

There is so much music produced nowadays that even good musicians work can be left unappreciated. It's important to sometimes stop comparing ourselves with others.

A strange thing I started throwing into my practice- practicing âmessing upâ and recovering as smoothly as possible. Intentionally playing an incorrect note or two, but keeping the entire momentum smooth and carrying on with the performance.
I noticed that it helped my confidence immensely when playing in front of others- I started to feel like âI am prepared to mess up, if it happensâ and I wasnât thinking âdonât mess up, donât mess up!â

I just started taking lessons with a professional as an adult. While feeling that I've been a pretty dedicated, relatively advanced pianist over these years, she has made me aware of how lacking my childhood teacher was. It's been a hard (but necessary) blow to my already low self esteem as a musician. I'm already a very anxious performer. So this video is just what I needed right now. Thanks!

A new golden age of music theory is happening on YouTube. â¤

Your comments about reframing situations is spot on. When I was in music school I was terrified of recitals. Oddly, juries never bothered me. But, the school I went to had what they called "sophomore comprehensives" . Basically a jury exam performed in front of the entire faculty. Your performance determined whether or not you got to continue as a music major. I was in the wings sweating all over my tux and my classical guitar and started thinking through the possible outcomes. One of which was, "Chances are, nobody's going to die from this." That single thought entirely flipped my terror on its head. I played the best I ever had, and it's become my "thought" any time I'm faced with anxiety like that.
30 years on, I haven't literally killed anyone with my performances yet.

The grace and humanity embedded in this generous artist's personality and work must not go unnoticed.

Only an amateur musician here, but I just had to leave a comment thanking you for your positive attitude. It's a breath of fresh air on the internet of today

I had an audition the other day and on that day I realized that practice is only 40% of the equation the other 60% is mental. I knew when I walked in that room I didn't know the cut as well as others but when I auditioned I played with the confidence of someone who knew it perfectly so I did well, indifferent to the very lazy practice I did for the audition.

Thank you! Three thoughts:
1. This isnât just one of the best videos on your channel, but one of the best videos on YouTube, because it applies not just to musicians but to everybody.
2. Itâs really interesting that most of your tips for self confidence are actually tips for getting better. This maybe isnât surprising. The better we get, the more confident we feel. Youâre clearly interested both in self confidence and improving as a musician. I never made this connection before, but itâs so obvious; how are you going to feel confident in something if you suck at it? Brutal but true. Thanks for bringing me to this insight.
3. For me, the key to self confidence is humility. Humility doesnât mean putting yourself down. A psychologist who researches humility told me: humility is an accurate assessment of where you are. Wow! This means, donât think you need to pretend to be better than you are. If youâre just starting to learn something new, why would you be good at it? If youâre good at it, then why doubt yourself? Accurate self-assessment is actually crucial to self-confidence. We donât need to pretend.

Another amazing video honestly, applicable for musicians of all levels

As a chess player I can relate to your advice. Especially the part about failure. Sometimes, as a teacher, helping the students to face and deal with failure seems more important than the things I am actually teaching.

Nahre, youâve been on such a roll recently with your videos for me. They have been so inspiring and I especially needed this one because motivation is so much harder than actually difficult music to me. A lot of times having to deal with technology that I barely know how to use is extremely frustrating to me and I just give up immediately when I canât do something. This video has reinvigorated me to try some of of those things again, so thank you!

Hi Nah Re. As an English teacher, I consider your "how to sound like" videos extremely valuable in terms of pedagogy. It comes to my mind that legendary video from walking the bass, "all about piano scales". There is structured and conceptualized substance that fosters people to rewatch it many more times

Lack of confidence is my biggest barrier when it comes to performing on recitals/auditions, despite of long hours of practicing the pieces. I fully relate to how you feel that you "cannot play" without a warm-up routine of some sort.

These tips are not only useful for piano, but also for life đ
Thanks for these amazing videos!

To dovetail: one barrier I have had to overcome as a composer/producer is that I would be seen as a mere hack who canât make music that sounds original or unique but rather a tenth-rate imitation of better artists. This was a bad idea that I just learned to drop. What helped me to drop this was realising that I am not just my influences or knowledge. By extension, I am not a mere copy of those influences. My own experiences, abilities and tools are what make âmy music mineâ and no one elseâs. And more importantly, I was sincere in making it. Even if I had a template or a reference point in mind, thatâs not the same thing as âcopyingâ. In the end, itâs my own thing that just happens to sound like something else. (And Iâve learned that people will respond with their own experiences. Not everyone else has listened to the same things I did ⌠and in the same way.)

it is insane to me that someone as good at piano as nahre is this insecure. As someone who never went to any arts related school who publishes videos/music i get insecure as wel, but i always thought it was because i didnt really felt like i was any authority on the subject, becasue i am youtube-trained in everything. hearing this makes me rethink that, i might have also been insecure about these things if i went to art school.
thanks for the video, i really like the insight, and you have no reason to doubt yourself, you are an amazing musician/educator in my eyes

This is not just for musicians, but for everybody.

I had abusive parents, and after I finished music school they pretty much convinced me to quit. I donât have a relationship with them now, and Iâm trying to get back so that I can make music my actual career instead of working a full time office job to survive while teaching some lessons and freelancing on the weekends. Itâs so hard, and I donât have anyone to talk to about it except myself, so this video is literally exactly what I need thank you!
