Here you can listen to my reading of the book "Stage fright - Its causes and cures with special reference to violin playing" by Kato Havas but I also recommend you to actually read it.

Take one section or one chapter at a time, read it and apply it. Refer to it often as part of your practice.

Dear Kató Havas, I would like… to congratulate you on your book Stage Fright. It is the most realistic & practical approach imaginable… should be worth its weight in gold...

Dear Kató Havas, I would like… to congratulate you on your book Stage Fright... It is the most realistic and practical approach imaginable… it should be worth its weight in gold to every student and many a performer.

Sir Yehudi Menuhin
