HOW TO BUILD CONFIDENCE WHEN PLAYING WITH MORE EXPERIENCED MUSICIANS

Let’s be honest…

As a young or less-experienced gospel instrumentalist, it’s intimidating playing beside people who are more skilled than you.

You feel nervous.
You second-guess yourself.
You start playing small just to stay "safe."

But here’s the truth:

You don’t grow by staying silent. You grow by showing up.

Here’s how to build real confidence in those intimidating situations

1. Shift From Comparison to Collaboration

Instead of thinking,

“I’m not as good as them.”

Start thinking,

“I get to learn from them.”

The moment you stop competing and start connecting, your confidence grows.

2. Know Your Strength and Own It

Even if you're not the fastest or most technical, you bring something unique.

• Maybe you have good timing
• Maybe you’re great with chord support
• Maybe you’re spiritually sensitive

Play your role with excellence.
Don’t try to be them. Be you, fully.

3. Practice Like You're on Stage

You don’t rise to the occasion you fall to the level of your preparation.

When you consistently practice:

Common progressions

Worship flow techniques

Spontaneous key changes

You’ll walk into any room ready not perfect, but prepared.

4. Ask Questions, Not Permission

Don’t shrink in silence.

Ask your senior musicians:

> “What do you think I should improve?”
“Can we run through this section again?”
“What do you expect from me during this moment?”

Confidence isn’t just built in sound. It’s built in conversation.

Confidence isn’t about being better than others.
It’s about being secure in who you are, even as you grow.

Tag a fellow gospel musician who needs this encouragement.
Have you ever felt small beside other players? How did you push through?
