Stress is the psychological regulars of piano performance, many involved in distinction, concerts, games and other activities of most children have psychological of "tension". Some even too nervous and even a power even can't find where the first sound, so as to cause the failure of performance activities; But there are some people said: "playing a little nervous when can play better." We should listen to who? The tensions are friend or foe?
A crisis, in my opinion, organic, for tension, generalisations are unnecessary. Stress is a double-edged sword. It can be a friend also can be the enemy, the key depends on how you adjust. When playing tension can be understood from two aspects.
1, the stress is concentrated
Stress is equal to high concentration, concentration on their next thing to do: to express the music, the more difficult to recite passages exactly what the expression of sound speed, strength, touch keys, and so on, is to focus on how to put the music play. This tension is a friend, is useful tension.
The beneficial tension should not only appeared in the stage performance, should remain in the usual practice. If only have performed, usually practice without the tension and concentration, less predictable stage performance is some won't be successful, or not satisfactory performance. Daily practice is the best state, the content should be far more nervous, sound, rhythm, timbre, fingering, phrases, breathing, touch, and so on all music elements should be noticed that shall be given a high degree of attention, and how to contact key, how to breathe, what the fingering can make play more convenient, and more able to express music they want this. That is, how to arrange the sound, rhythm, timbre and fingering, phrases, breathing, touch and so on element of music, can achieve the ideal music.
If we do, the performances of intense focus content is relatively easier and easier. As long as there is sufficient preparations at ordinary times, the stage of nervous just need to remind myself that usually easy to get wrong place, thinking about the details of the music they want good, rather than thinking about those more specific -- for example, how to play to reach the ideal music? This is the usual practice should solve the problem!
Therefore, we should attach great importance to the tension of daily practice. Usually practice when tensions (focus) can affect the performance of performances. More focused and ready to more fully, performances of tension will be "easy", the more successful performance.
2, tension is fear, and stress or excitement
"Too terrible, one thousand wrong to do yourself!"
"Great, can again to share music with so many people, consider all exciting!"
"The play is very important, feeling a lot of pressure, I want to be calm, but the heart still very soon. I have to think of some way to get yourself calm down, try deep breathing and imagination."
The first kind of psychological activity is one of the worst. The second is very good, but most in amateur performance. The third is the most professional pianist some psychological activity.
People in fear of fear and stress, the body will secrete some hormones such as adrenaline, to maintain and promote the activities of the body function, in order to more effectively defend or attack. Under a moderate amount of fear, the secretion of hormones make body more flexible, the brain more alert, more effective heartbeat to accelerate blood circulation, the whole body moment is in a state of active, it is good for performance. But excessive fear will let the brain blank, limb paralysis, cold sweats, and then not open there, don't even remember where the first sound of extreme example.
Playing in the presence of strangers, stage lighting, stage height and so on can make the person produces tension, deal with to add tension in daily practice of training, make oneself learn to control fear, learn to self adjusting. Can build similar to stage performances of environment, such as: lamp was used to simulate the stage lights, play to strangers, on different piano playing, to create a formal grave feeling environment record yourself, how to participate in some performance activities and so on. Many great pianists are nervous, this tension is most pressure, they also have a self adjusting method, can be a meditation, deep breathing, warm-up exercise, and so on.
Harold finally want to tell the children's shoes, is that people are hard to avoid making mistakes, then great pianist are no exception. Moment, therefore, common heart stride, I believe you must be the winner.
