The North Carolina School of the Arts School of Music will engage in a series of Internet 2 sessions to perform, collaborate, discuss and exchange ideas. Internet 2 is a new high-speed Internet system allowing high quality real-time audio-visual interaction between people at any Internet 2 location in the world.  This year’s sessions will include collaborations with Manhattan School of Music, New World Symphony, North Western University and the University of Michigan.

 

This project involves the North Carolina School of the Arts students, faculty and community in one of the most innovative trends in the performing arts. It connects participants, including students and alumni, to their profession and supports the professional development of all involved. The project holds the potential for developing leadership and entrepreneurial prospects in the arts by offering the forum to other institutions.

 

Please contact Dr. Michael S. Rothkopf, Assistant Dean of Graduate Programs at the North Carolina School of the Arts if you are interested in participating.

Understanding Performance Anxiety

April 10, 2007

1:30-3:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time

 

This interactive session will explore the causes and effects of performance anxiety, and then offer strategies that participants can immediately put to use to advance their performing abilities.

 

Psychologist and musician Julie Jaffee Nagel, Ph.D., will explain why talent, hard work, trying harder, and being smart are not “solutions” for performance anxiety. She will illustrate how anxiety can work in a way that is helpful and also talk about why performance anxiety may develop and become chronically frightening and inhibiting. Dr. Nagel will share numerous experiences from her own performing years as a pianist as well as vignettes from individuals she has worked with in her clinical practice. She will offer ideas for better understanding the origins of performance anxiety and better managing it.

 

Guitarist and professor Gerald Klickstein, M.M., will present practical, compassionate frameworks for grasping the nature of stage fright and for building performance expertise. Using a skills-based approach, he will describe the five facets of concert preparation and spell out seven key performance-enhancing techniques. He will discuss backstage rituals, on-stage tactics and post-performance routines that allow musicians take command of their performances and celebrate their roles as performing artists.

 

Julie Jaffee Nagel, Ph.D., is well acquainted with performance anxiety and the relationship between music and the mind from her personal, therapeutic, and educational experiences. She graduated from The Juilliard School with two degrees in piano performance, and then, after many years performing and teaching, but always baffled by her own stage fright, she entered The University of Michigan to earn her MSW and Ph.D. in psychology and social work. Subsequently, she trained to become a psychoanalyst at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute. In addition to her clinical private practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan, she has shared her hybrid work with audiences of all ages and experience levels. She has published widely in both scholarly and popular journals.  For more information on Dr. Nagel’s work please visit  www.julienagel.net.

 

Gerald Klickstein, M.M., is Professor of Music at the North Carolina School of the Arts (NCSA) and an active classical guitarist and music performance educator. He frequently lectures at national music conferences and appears at numerous American music schools and festivals where he performs, teaches and directs workshops dealing with practice methods, musicians’ wellness and the development of performance skills. Prior to his appointment at NCSA, he taught on the music faculties of the University of Texas at San Antonio, Michigan State University and Lansing Community College. His writings and musical arrangements are distributed internationally by a variety of publishers.
