I tense up, and even after playing for six years, I cannot find a way to play fast without doing it. It may damage, nerves, muscles, and stress a musician out too much. So, how do the folks here at GMC handle this issue? If you can play without tensing up, what is your secret? Those of us who cannot, would really love to know. Thanks to all who participate!
