One of the main issues concerning my musical career is the difference in quality, con- viction, and ease between my playing in a practice room where I am alone, and my performance in a concert stage crowded with an audience. In this thesis I will focus on researching different practice methods and working routines to prepare successfully for a performance onstage and overcome this difficulty. Through a self-analysis I have come to the conclusion that any standard performance will broadly face the following three issues: memory, technical ease and conveyance of a musical plan. I will call these the three pillars of a successful performance. Through this project I will research on how to develop these three pillars in the best way possi- ble towards a performance. This process will consist of three steps. Firstly, I will make a review of previous scien- tific research about how the pressure of a performance onstage can generate mental and physical burdens in the playing. With the information acquired I will focus on finding appropriate working methods for technique, memory, and music making, in order to overcome those burdens. I will then implement these methods into my prac- tice and consequently write a performance diary describing the outcome. By the end of the project, I hope to have found better working methods mentally and physically, and to have better acknowledgment of my body and mind as a performer and as an artist. I would also wish that this project will be of help to any future readers that are experiencing the same issue.
