I have the same problem, playing in a cello orchestra – I’m the newbie. I’ve had to re-frame my thinking and focus on what i want to achieve. I joined because of my interest, not their approval, but find myself intimidated by performing in rehearsal. Perhaps you can re-frame to think about the fact that their opinions simply don’t matter? Your goals matter. I know that’s hard (I’m still struggling with it). I’m trying to really focus on Noa’s entering techniques to deal with this. Hope this is helpful!
