A fear of making mistakes when playing in public
A fear of forgetting the music when playing from memory A fear of not being able to coordinate left hand and pedals A fear of leading hymn singing too slow, too fast, too loud, or too soft A fear of not having enough time to prepare for recital or church service A fear of not being liked A fear of not being noticed A fear of not reaching your full potential A fear of breaking trust A fear of wasting an opportunity to be helpful and generous, to inspire and to lead Which fears would you choose? Which ones would you like your colleague/boss/friend/family member to have?
