Have you ever played a song on the piano whether at home, at a gig, or at church, and made a mistake? Did it embarrass you so bad that you couldn’t come back from it? It seemed to haunt you for days and even weeks if not longer?
Me too…
Years ago, when I was a teenager, I had to play for my church’s national choir. We were invited to sing at another church’s national convention. The choir that I was playing for started to sing their first song. The song was a slow worship song and the beginning of the song was soft piano which happened to be just me playing.
Before the song could go any further I drew a blank and completely forgot what I was supposed to play. I fumbled around for about 3 or 4 seconds and those 3 or 4 seconds felt like 3 or 4 hours.
Maybe you get it… Maybe you understand what it’s like to make an embarrassing mistake on stage, or you might be wondering what the big deal is. Just in case you don’t know what the big deal is, I will break it down for you … Anytime there is live event and you are the guest talent, you must know and understand that they didn’t just call anybody but they called you.
You must know that they called you because you’re good and they trust you. Back to the big mistake that I made… Not only did I embarrass myself, but I embarrassed the band, the choir director, and the choir.
I learned a very valuable lesson from this situation. The lesson was in my preparation. I realized that I had been preparing like an amateur and it was time to start preparing like a professional.
