MAGICAL MUSICAL AFFIRMATIONS FOR MUSICIANS for Confidence Onstage
This new easy and pleasant way to build confidence onstage was created by musicians for musicians and their unique concerns.
Do you ever feel jittery? Lightheaded? Or even afraid when you are onstage? Do you feel like you play so much better at home? Do your hands shake on your instrument? Or your voice feel dry and quivery? You are not alone! You can do something positive to change it.
What are Magical Musical Affirmations?
Affirmations are short, carefully constructed phrases that should be repeated many times to be effective. We recorded severaluseful affirmations on a CD with pleasant musical backgrounds, to make them easy and enjoyable to listen to repeatedly. Eachtrack on the CD contains a single spoken affirmation, repeated every 20 seconds over a 5 minute period.
This CD is a tool you can use again and again to help put yourself in a positive frame of mind for your performances. Useit along with other techniques to soothe stagefright and your performances will continue to improve and be more enjoyable.

Why do we use musical backgrounds?
Sometimes emotions can get in the way of your mind accepting the affirmation. Music helps soothe the emotions so that the affirmation can sink in. Music helps the affirmations to flow into the mind more easily.
We ourselves, tried many different affirmation techniques. And we found that using a recorded affirmation with a musical background was by far the easiest (and the most likely to continue holding our interest).
What specific affirmations are included on the CD?
Your CD includes 4 affirmations that were carefully constructed to address the most common problems affecting musicians while performing:
-
Tracks 1-3: I feel grounded and present onstage
Tracks 4-6: I am joyfully immersed in my music and connected to my audience while performing
Tracks 7-9: My body works in harmony with my musical intentions while performing
Tracks 10-12: I effortlessly remember all of my parts while performing
Each affirmation is recorded on three individual tracks, each with a different musical background. So you can choose to listen to the one(s) that you like most or that best suit your current mood.

Who is behind Magical Musical Affirmations?
"I have always had stagefright. Not so severe that I cannot perform onstage, but bad enough that I feel that it compromises my abilities. I tried to say the affirmations to myself, but felt silly after a short time. So I did not follow through with them - until we came up with the idea to record the affirmations over music. And they really work! I am more and more comfortable onstage since I have been listening to the affirmations". Annie - singer, guitarist and co-creator of Magical Musical Affirmations
Magical Musical Affirmations were created by Annie and Phil of the band Hobbyhorse, a progressive folk/rock duo. We started recording affirmations for our own use and liked them so much that we wanted to share them.
