When Lynn Harrell was 20, he became the principal cellist(首席大提琴手) of the Cleveland Orchestra, and he suffered extreme stage fright (怯场). “There were times when I got so nervous I was sure that audience could hear my heart beating. It was just total panic.”

Today, music schools are paying attention to the problem of anxiety in classes that deal with performance techniques and career preparation. There are a variety of skills that musicians can learn to fight stage fright and its symptoms: icy fingers, shaky hands, racing heart, and blank mind.

“Take two deep breaths, open up your shoulders, then smile,” says doctor Diane Nichols, who suggests some ways of dealing with anxiety for the moments before performance. “Then choose three friendly faces in the audience, people you would communicate with and make music to, and make eye contact(接触) with them.” She doesn’t want performers to think of the audience as a judge.

Extreme demands by teachers or parents are often at the root of stage fright, says Dorothy DeLay, a well-known violin teacher. She tells other teachers to demand only what their students are able to achieve.

It is not only young artists who suffer, of course. The well-known pianist Cladimir Horowitz’s stage fright was famous. The great singer Draco Corelli is another example. “They had to push him on stage,” singer Renata Scotto said.

Actually, success can make things worse. “In the beginning of your career, when you’re scared to death, nobody knows who you are, and they don’t have any expectations,” famous singer June Anderson said. “There’s less to lose. Later on, when ________, people are coming to see you, and they have certain expectations. You have a lot to lose.”

[1]One Friday night in May 2010, Oliver and Ione Kleven heard angry shouts coming from their front lawn(草坪). Ione, 65, stepped onto the porch（门廊） and saw two men in dark clothes struggling with something on the ground—right where she and her grandson had planted a flower bed the weekend before.

[2] “Go fight somewhere else!” she shouted, worried her plants would get damaged. At the sound of her voice, the face of a boy appeared from beneath the two men. He looked 14. “They’re trying to kill me!” the boy screamed. Ione ran toward them and, without hesitation, caught the boy’s arm, pulling him out.

[3] “Leave him alone!” she shouted. When the men stood up, Ione saw what looked like a sharp object in one man’s hand. When she turned back toward the boy, he was moaning（呻吟） in pain and holding his stomach. The attackers began to move in on the boy again when Ione’s husband shouted: “Get lost!” The two men walked quickly and quietly across the street and drove off in a dark car.

[4]“I have to get to the hospital!” the boy cried. He lifted his shirt, and Ione could see a bloody wound on his stomach. Oliver hugged the trembling(发抖的) boy while Ione caught her cell phone and car keys inside the house. She handed the phone to Oliver. “Call 911,” she told him. “I’m going after them.” Ione took off but was unable to find the car.

[5]The Klevens then learned what had happened . Earlier that night, as the boy waited for his parents to pick him up from the high school across the street from the Klevens’ house, two men approached and demanded his wallet. When he refused, one of the men hit him in the face. The boy ran across the street. The men caught up with him, and one hurt him in the back and stomach with a sharp knife. That’s when Ione stepped in.
