HOW SONG INTERPRETATION CAN SAVE YOU FROM YOUR NERVES (part I).

Be in the moment:

Know your story, your Sender, Receiver, goal, and so on.
But allow the story to unfold itself in the moment.Try to not fix an ending to your story, that would only make your performance boring. Keep it open. Play with it.In real life, do we ever know exactly what is going to happen next? No we don’t.So go from moment to moment, just as you would in a real-life situation. 

Don’t try to ‘get it right’:

When you work on interpretation, don’t focus on the performance. Don’t focus on ‘getting it right’. Focus on the story. The moment you try to ‘get it right’, it becomes difficult.And needless to say, all the voices in your head saying “I wonder what they think of me” have to be turned off.
