Conquering Stage Fright workshop

At the request of some of her students, Amanta offered a series of workshops on conquering stage fright in performance: for all instrumentalists, vocalists and performers. This was an informal gathering once a month, by appointment, at her studio. The event was well attended and participants learned a great deal from each other.
