Hello Michael, I think I heard somewhere that Richard Solis of the Cleveland Orchestra had such problems, as well...at least while performing as Principal. Your book title is intriguing....in what way do you relate stage fright to the unconscious? Sounds like you believe that stage fright may be explained in terms of depth psychology? Are you a psychologist? Thanks, Fred

Arnold Jacobs told me of a performer in the New York Philharmonic that had played wonderfully for 25 years then all of a sudden couldn't play. Hundreds of great performers constantly suffer with stage fright and are calling me all the time. I don't have any stage fright-yet I wrote this book. Bud Herseth, Will Scarlett, Richard Cox, MD, Don Greene, PhD, Patrick Sheridan, are some of the names in music that like and recommend this book. Dale Clevenger also has this book. Maybe the book will help you understand stage fright for any students you may teach as you don't seem to suffer from the problem yourself.
