Musicians are generally known to be emotional and sensitive. It is important for them to be in the right mood to create good music. One can get plenty of music jobs but even one bad performance can leave a bad impression in the minds of the listeners, and can further affect the reputation of the musician. Thus it is very important to be happy while performing.

It is good to be in the right frame of mind while performing because how you are feeling can really make a big difference in your act. But it is not possible to always be in a good mood. So it might happen that when you have a performance or recording planned, you might not be really feeling too good due to a variety of reasons. It might be possible some times to reschedule a recording, but when it comes to live gigs or performance it might not be always possible. It is anyways not an easy task for beginners to secure music jobs.

You need to understand why you are not in the mood. There might be various reasons for a bad or sullen mood, both personal and professional. Sometimes you might just be in a bad mood in general without actually knowing what is worrying you. It would be recommended to drill down and get to the core of the worry. Once you get to the root, it might help you resolve the issue and get back into mood.

Let us start with dealing with professional issues. You should basically keep in mind that professional issues should never affect your passion for music making. It might be the case that you have taken up music jobs as a freelancer or hobbyist, but you are having troubles in your main job. You should be all the more happy to be performing then. Just let go of your worries in your job and enjoy this moment to be able to perform in front of people. This is what you have been wanting always. You must have really worked hard to reach here and practiced a lot. Do not let this moment go.

If you are actually a musician by profession, and some financial troubles have hit you, it can really make you feel down. There are always good and bad phases in the life of a musician. It is difficult to even pay your bills sometimes. Take this opportunity of performing as a way of promoting yourself. Meet with people in the crowd and see if there is someone influential. If you are recording, it is all the more great because now things will turn.

It might also be the case that you not about to get paid for the performance you are doing. It happens with all musicians that initially they need to a couple of free performances to just create a rapport and network. It can be quite frustrating to do music jobs for free when you have so many bills to pay. It can it turn affect your performance. The only way to get over it is to think about your passion for music. Remember why you have chosen this path. It needs a lot of perseverance and patience. You need to calm yourself and relax. Think of the fruits that lie ahead in the future.

At the very beginning of a music career, not much interesting stuff might happen. But this should to deter you from your goals. The worst thing to happen would be to go to a performance with a sour mood and ruin your chances of earning good reviews and consequent paying music jobs.

There might be some personal reasons bothering you too. You never plan something to go wrong just before your performance. But as you say “If something has to go wrong, it will”. It can be a big blow if something really tragic happens. It has been a big question whether an artist can perform under such circumstances. At that time, the answer lies completely with you. It is a personal choice completely, depending on the situation, how you deal with treating your performance.

If there are certain issues that cannot be resolved, and yet you decide to go ahead with your performance, make sure to be in the write state of mind. There are some general tips that can help you get into mood for your performance.

Think about how you will feel later. You must have really worked hard to secure this music gig. And now it is happening. If you do not give your best shot, all the effort that has gone behind it will go to waste. In a few days when your issues get resolved and you are back to a normal state of mind, you might regret losing such a special opportunity. It is better to realize this earlier and give a good performance, than cry over spilt milk later.

Share your current situation with your friends or band members. It is good to talk to someone about anything that is worrying you. A friend might help rejuvenate your mood and help you forget your worries. It is not essential that you need to solve your issues right away. You can take care of that after the performance as well. A few laughs with your friends or band members can help you sooth yourself.

Try to do something else. Divert your attention towards some other activity such as possibly listening to your favorite piece of music, playing some video games, reading a novel, dancing etc, anything that makes you forget about your worries for a little while. Distracting yourself for a while can help you improve your mood for a short while at least. This way you can perform in a good mood.

Finally, if nothing else works just try to give it your best. Try to clear your mind and even if your mood is not the best, try to give your best performance given the odds you are facing. This is probably the last and final option that you have. You need to realize that there will be many such ups and downs in your life but you need to be strong and keep moving on.

As you start getting your music jobs and progress to become a professional musician, you will see that life has many twists and turns in store for you. You will need to cope up with various situations and a bad mood is something you cannot really afford to do with. Although you cannot have a control on external situations, you can control your own mood by choosing your own favorite stress relieving activity.
