Performance 101: How To Take Your Music From the Living Room To The Stage
In this 90 minute workshop Steve Davison and Peter Janson will share decades worth of performance experience as soloists, and members of ensembles with guitarists who are ready to take the next step in their musical lives: Performance.
In addition to Davison's hands on pragmatic approach to performance, Janson will share his 5 planes of musicality: Practice, rehearsal, performance, playing guitar, and playing music. They will help you establish a practice and rehearsal routine that will engender self-confidence, as well as discussing how to create positive self-talk prior to stepping on stage.
Other topics included will be:
• stage gear for guitarists
• day of show practice and warm-up
• creating set lists for use of multiple tunings
• day of show nutrition
• the importance of hydration
• how to do great sound check and control your sound from the stage
• how to plan your time day of performance (particularly on tour)
• ego free performance
• honest assessment of that day's physical limits
