Stage Fright In Music Performance
and Its Relationship to the Unconscious 2nd ed
Michael I Goode

"This is a very comprehensive and thorough study of 'stage fright,' which is a problem for many public performance. I am sure it will be very helpful to anyone who has experienced such feelings."   --Adolph "Bud" Herseth Principal Trumpet Emeritus Chicago Symphony Orchestra

"Mike Goode writes with personal insight and great clarity about the important performance problem of stage fright. His analysis is well founded in contemporary neurobiological and physiological terms. The case studies are extremely illuminating. This book is 'must reading' for those in the performing arts."
       --Philip C. Hoffmann, Ph.D. Emeritus Professor of Neurobiology,            Pharmacology and Physiology The University of Chicago

"This book is helpful for singers wanting to understand how their personal psychology affects their performance ."
             --Elizabeth Hale Knox Mezzo-Soprano and Voice Teacher Music of the Baroque and the Grant Park Symphony Chorus

"Goode goes beyond the clinical analysis of 'stage fright' symptoms and grounds the phenomenon in a human context that the average, non-scientific reader can relate to. This book is not just for musicians. Everyone has some experience with performance anxiety, and Goode offers hope to all who have suffered from it."
               --Ken Trainor Managing Editor and Columnist Wednesday Journal Newspaper
