(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 23, 2012 ) San Diego, CA -- Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has been under fire since yesterday's questionable performance during the AFC championship game.
Following the criticism, TakeLessons (http://takelessons.com), the nation's fastest growing music lessons provider, took the opportunity to share tips for handling mistakes during performances. Although it can be frustrating and disappointing, the key is in the musician's ability to keep composure.
The following is an excerpt from the TakeLessons blog post:
"1. If the mistake is so bad that you need to start over, feel free to take a moment to breathe, adjust your positioning, or take a sip of water. Smile or nod at the audience if you feel the need to ease any tension, or simply get back into the music – you’re more affected by the mistake than they are.
2. Set a comfortable rhythm in your head (or metronome).
3. Start again from the beginning of the song (if youÂ’re not too far in) or restart the page or line.
4. Stay calm. Your energy is better aimed toward playing and enjoying the song.
5. DonÂ’t worry about perfection; itÂ’s about conveying a feeling through music, and the opportunity to do so is never lost."
