What If Impostor Syndrome Was The Key to Your Violin Success? A little food for thought... This past week, I had a performance for an event celebrating the International Women's day. Congratulations by the way! This is what happened: The previous two weeks, I was busy with life. Just a lot of house work, conflicting kids doctor's appointments, admin work, the passing of my grandfather... Basically, life being life. With all that happening, I couldn't get ready the way I wanted for the performance. I had no energy or time, although the will and motivation were there. When time came to finally practice (two days before the event with new music to learn) impostor syndrome (and a tad of panic) kicked in… of course… Fear of not performing good enough, not being prepared enough, making mistakes, being vulnerable, not delivering what I had promised the client… just not being enough. And of course, I have been in that situation many times before. But what was different this time...
