I had a college instrumental performance professor yell at me to "sit still" because this was happening all the time at our weekly recital hour, it was driving me crazy, and I would jerk, or shake my head or hang it, or facepalm, or clench my fists.

They were right to call me out because I was being rude and I toned down my reactions after that, but... ugh. I hate that the professors tolerated that — it was such a disservice to their students.

I know! It IS rude. But it's hard not to cringe.

Just think "poker face."

The audience is rooting for you. They want to experience something special.

They want you to blow through glitches without drawing attention to them or even thinking about them, because that's how you bring them along in a shared, spellbinding experience.
