Hey everyone,

To start off, I am at the beginner level....I would rate myself as level 3 here at GMC. When I am by myself, I can keep myself busy for an hour practicing and all.. However, the minute people are over, whether its friends or neighbours or whatever, i seem to freeze up. My mind goes blank, I have nothing to play, and the things that I do play, I am slow and hesititant..I become very shy. rolleyes.gif

Any suggestions on how to overcome this, because it is frustrating. I want to be able to play somewhat beautiful music without pressure in front of others.. thanks for any help!

Oh yeah, the same can be said about singing. By myself, I can sing worry free. The moment I know someone can hear me, again, I freeze up huh.gif
