Answer 1

Just breathe LOL.

I'm a music teacher... and sometimes there is nothing you can do.  Some people say that the more they perform, the better their nerves get. Some people say that their nerves NEVER get better.

I say, if you love your music, then you can get over your nerves. Don't focus on the perfomance, focus on the music. Don't think about the people out there or what they'll think. If you do what you do, and you're good at it, you'll get good vibes, and those good vibes will help you calm down. But that only helps IN the performance. Before then, busy yourself with details and don't think about being up on stage in front of people.  If you don't have details to take care of, then practice your *** off and make sure you're perfect. One last tip: try practicing while pretending you're in the actual performance... it'll help you make mistakes before you actually play your gig.

GOOD LUCK!!
