This weekend, Zach sang a solo in stake conference while I accompanied him on the piano. (Disclaimer: I'm not a “real” piano player and can only read chords.) This chord progression was probably the simplest I’ve ever played (shoutout to the Hymns Made Easy for fakers like me!). We practiced it a handful of times and it was great every time.
As the musical number began, I felt my cheeks begin to flush and my hands shake, despite the easiness of the music. Zach was singing beautifully (and honestly all attention was on him anyway) and yet I was trying to keep my brains together behind him and not melt into a puddle of performance anxiety.
