Comments on: Performance Anxiety http://mumsgather.com/2007/08/22/performance-anxiety/ My very own mini, personalised, parenting resource. A cyber filing cabinet of parenting articles and links. I love sharing my children's favourite sites, online games, crafts and exchanging childcare stories and parenting issues faced with other parents.

Piano exams kills whatever joy you have in learning how to play the piano as you spend months playing the same pieces over and over again (driving your neighbours nuts in the process!) My husband never took any piano exams and he plays much better than I do. Anyway glad to hear the lessons are going well for you :) <strong>No, I'm not taking any exams but I still drive my neighbours nuts. Lol!</strong> I agree with Vien.

I had to do that for years..it took the joy of piano playing from me. I'm sure you're learning to play leisurely. <strong>Yeah, must be boring isn't it having to learn all that music theory. Hahaha.</strong> Wait till you have to sit for the test..haha. I had to do that for years..it took the joy of piano playing from me. I’m sure you’re learning to play leisurely.

It's early days. Now you know why kids make mistakes when someone is watching over their shoulders. :) This is what my kids used to say to me when they were practising their piano. You'll be fine. <strong>I'm doing fine because I play from the love of it, not because I'm forced to and not to compete with anyone. Hahaha.</strong> You will get over the anxiety. It’s early days.
