Classical pianist Simone Dinnerstein's successful career was nearly ended by severe stage fright, until she started using an iPad on stage.
Dinnerstein battled performance anxiety for decades despite extensive preparation and pressure to perform from memory in the classical music world.
Her husband's ultimatum to quit music or find a new way to perform led her to using an iPad on stage, which allowed her to overcome the anxiety and focus on the music.
By breaking classical music conventions and embracing technology, Dinnerstein has found new freedom and creativity in her performances, leading to her ensemble's innovative projects and career extension.
