In this episode we discuss the importance of music theory. Thanks to KommandantRex for the question.

What is it for? Why should we learn it? Is it really that important?

Big big thank you to my listeners in Philippines, India, Poland, Austria, from the UK and from America. Tell your friends and ask me questions to cover in the podcast.

In this episode we will take a look at stage fright, otherwise known as performance anxiety.

I am not an expert on this and have used my personal experience to discuss some of the strategies I use to deal with my own performance anxiety.

I have also used the resources below for the information in this episode. I hope you find it as useful as I did. You might even recognise some things that you already do!
