Jerusha —

I am also near Phoenix (Tempe). I’m a beginner, but did have the advantage of some good musical experience before beginning to play about one year ago.

I just moved to Phoenix in April of this year (06), and I’m still learning my way around the city. I also play (oboe) in a local community orchestra, and Irish flute in a new band; our first gig is coming up.

Oh, and I’m a mathematician – turned – college – administrator by profession.

Greetings, All!!!

[Pat Eisenberger]

Hello again, everyone.

I’ve been away from this board for awhile. I’m from Warren, Michigan (just outside of Detroit) and Mary Bartlett has been my teacher.

Well Pat- the beta blockers you are already taking should help some. Did you start them recently? Have you tried performing since starting them?

[Pat Eisenberger]

I’ve been taking the beta blockers for three or four years. They don’t seem to help any for the stage-fright. However, if I forget one – I certainly know it!

[Briggsie B. Peawiggle]

Pat, it never ceases to amaze me how unique each of us is regarding body chemistry and how it reacts to drugs. I also have mitral valve prolapse and have terrible palpitations. I tried Toprol 25 once/day (1/2 pill so really 12.5 mg) and I was so downed on it I could hardly move. Palps continued to go strong….okay off topic, but the thing is this. I played a wedding (flute and voice — this was before I played harp) and I had absolutely NO anxiety whatsoever. It was as if I were playing at home in my livingroom. Actually it was really nice. That was the only thing I liked about the beta blocker. I had to stop taking them. My blood pressure got so low I could hardly function — and it’s already low. I felt like I had been poisoned when I stopped taking them and realized how bad they make you feel. It reallyb depends on the individual/the drug, etc.

This thread seems to have drifted off course…

BTW – I just got a call from the Salvation Army – I’ll be playing at Universal Mall in Warren once a week in December. If any of you are nearby – please come in a say hello! I’ll have the exact dates in a couple of days…

Now I just have to buy some cornflower for my sweaty fingers!

[Briggsie B. Peawiggle]

Pat, please let us know what days you will be there when you know. I’d like to come and listen. 🙂

[unknown-user]

don’t worry Pat, Heaven will accept you… above all part of religion is about the repurity of those who’ve sinned right : )

but i do know of a harpist who will definietely not be accpeted in heaven…. actually its called hell already…. just come to Gaudemus week and you’ll confirm.
