I've learnt alot of stuff that I can play decently on keyboard. But as soon as I sit down on the piano and she's watching me play, it's like my hands freeze up and I'm forget everything I've learnt. I can't read the notes for shit and my whole body starts sweating and I feel like going into meltdown.

I hope this shit passes.

Keep trying at it. Performing under pressure is a whole level of challenge on top of everything else, but as you do it more you get better at it.

I used to play the trumpet pretty seriously when I was growing up, and the more auditions I did the less scary they became.

Can you play in front of any other people?

Or have you tried just closing your eyes while playing? This assumes that you've got a song down so well that you can do that regularly in practice.
