SHERIDAN QUOTE: "Thank you so much for the research you’ve done through your book! I have so many students with performance anxiety issues and having VERY RARELY experienced these issues in my life for more than 12 years now (actually most of my 27 years of performing) I am finding the meat of your research to be all the impetus I needed to say what I always wanted to these students...
I teach completely differently having read your book.
I simply cannot say thank you enough!"

MÜLLER QUOTE: "I witnessed first-hand at AFTRA in LA one of Mr. Goode's lectures; how dynamic he and his book are. The concepts in his Stage Fright in Music Performance book are essential for actors at any level; not just for musicians. Stagecraft is musical in itself. I highly recommend it."

TRAINOR QUOTE: "Goode goes beyond the clinical analysis of 'stage fright' symptoms and grounds the phenomenon in a human context that the average, non-scientific reader can relate to. This book is not just for musicians. Everyone has some experience with performance anxiety, and Goode offers hope to all who have suffered from it."

Mike Goode's research and willingness to share his experiences are invaluable to performers who suffer from performance anxiety as well as teachers who must assist their students with coping with it.
I highly recommend that you check out his website, and, if you are able, buy his book! (It will get lots of use if you are a teacher!)
Thanks for sharing, Mike!"
