If you screw up just vamp. Play whatever comes to mind, stay in the right key. I know you know at least the first half of the piece. Just throw in a repeat! That's pulled me through a couple recitals. Just don't stop. Play something. Most people won't realize it wasn't part of the arrangement, or just simply won't know the tune to begin with. The only way to let most people know you failed is to stop playing. So play man! Otherwise yeah, not much to be done for nerves. Practice of course, but at this point it's all about keeping your head clear and just playing. If you do have to stop, at least do it on the root chord. gl hf

nerves are merely a fear of the unknown. if you foresee failure then you shall meet failure.
likewise, should you envision bold success then have it ye shall.

I use this mantra whenever I perform on stage as an actor, orator, or musician.

That's quite a repertoire in terms of technical difficulty but it's kind of cliche... I think I've even heard of the Chinese folk dance one back in my high school days. Gives me the impression you're quite the "school pianist" because I'm pretty sure all your friends demand that you're good at those pieces =P

You said your audience are 60+ years old seniors... so is this like part of volunteer/charity stuff? Unless your audience is super-music-keen, they will rarely notice any of your mistakes. Plus, you should have mastered (as the high school musician) the "art of damper pedal" a.k.a. knowing where to pedal over the hard parts. Well, can't do it for Bach, good luck hehehe. Relax and have fun~

What's a school pianist/high school musician? >< My school doesn't really have anyone particularly dedicated to piano (meaning lots of random popular songs)...

As I said before somewhere, my pieces are sort of over-popular :/

Grats on your concert =)

I thought every high school had that group of few (two or three) "top" pianists that can play any piece at will. Well, at least my school had a piano competition every year.

(unless you already do so) you should volunteer at a senior home and play piano on regular basis. Easy community service hours, and it's a really worthwhile experience.
