Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I have always felt that before a performance, the only way I can really shake off the severe nerves (I'll always have some performance anxiety) is to be OVER-PREPARED. I would practice so much that I could play it, literally, in my sleep. I would wake up in the middle of the night practicing scale patterns. You have to practice so much that you feel like it will be fantastic even on your worst day. It sounds like a lot, because it is. The only way to get better is to practice.
