This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VIEW BOOK DETAILS We are pleased to introduce the collection Frontiers in Psychology – Highlights in Performance Science: Music Performance Anxiety. Music performance anxiety (MPA) has been defined as “the experience of marked and persistent anxious apprehension related to musical performance”. For musicians performing in public is a demanding activity and the MPA can cause potential debilitating effects on their career and health, regardless of age, gender, experience, practicing time, and music genre. A greater understanding of the predicting factors of MPA has implications not only for theories of MPA but also for its prevention and management and more broadly for teaching and learning. This collection will welcome and showcase a selection of articles about Music Performance Anxiety (MPA), authored by leaders in the field. The work presented here highlights the broad diversity of research performed across the Performance Science field and aims to put a spotlight on the main areas of interest. This collection aims to further support Frontiers’ strong community by shining a spotlight on our authors' highly impactful research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is the third most prevalent condition among psychiatric disorders, which has a chronic and disabling course and is highly associated with comorbidities. The onset of SAD is early and its diagnosis is underestimated by both mental health professionals and the patients themselves. A growing interest in the study of this disorder has been observed during the last decade, regarding its clinical, diagnostic and/or treatment aspects. The objective of this book is to present the scientific advances related to SAD obtained in studies by a group of Brazilian investigators involving rating and screening instruments, epidemiology, association with psychiatric comorbidities and other general medical conditions, neuroimaging, social skills and functional impairment, current parameters of pharmacological treatment, and studies involving new medications. The book is directed at students and professionals in the mental health area, and to professionals who act in the area of health prevention.

Download or read book The Psychology of Music Performance Anxiety written by Dianna Kenny and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some performers exhilarated and energized about performing in public, while others feel a crushing sense of fear and dread, and experience public performance as an overwhelming challenge that must be endured? What are the factors that produce such vastly different performance experiences? Why have consummate artists like Frederic Chopin, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Pablo Cassals, Tatiana Troyanos, and Barbra Streisand experienced such intense music performance anxiety? This is a disorder that can affect musicians across a range of genres and of all standards. Some of the 'cures' musicians resort to can be harmful to their health and detrimental to their playing. This is the first rigorous exposition of music performance anxiety. In this groundbreaking work, Dianna Kenny draws on a range of disciplines including psychology, philosophy, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and performance theory in order to explain the many facets of music performance anxiety that have emerged in the empirical and clinical literature. She identifies some unifying guiding principles that will enhance our understanding of the condition and guide researchers and clinicians in the development of effective treatments. The book provides a detailed conceptual framework for the study of music performance anxiety and a review of the empirical and clinical research on the anxiety disorders. In addition it presents a thorough analysis of the concepts related to music performance anxiety, its epidemiology, and theories and therapies that may be useful in understanding and treating the condition. The voices of musicians are clearly heard throughout the book and in the final two chapters, we hear directly from musicians about how they experience it and what they do to manage it. This book will lay a firm foundation for theorizing music performance anxiety and be of enormous value interest to those in the fields of music and music education, clinical psychology, and performance studies.

Download or read book Music, Motor Control and the Brain written by Eckart Altenmüller and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motor actions that can be witnessed as a virtuoso musician performs can be so fast, so accomplished, so precise, as to seem somehow superhuman. The musician has to produce the movements, monitor those they have already made and the subsequent result, co-ordinate their hands, fingers, eyes, and perhaps throat and diaphragm. These achievements are of course the product of hundreds, even thousands of hours of practice - playing scales, studies, time and time again. But those hours of practice by no means guarantee that great musicianship will result. This technical prowess has to be combined with a range of other, perhaps, less tangible qualities. This book explores the secrets of musical virtuosity. It presents a comprehensive account of music and motor cognition, examining the neural basis of music making - our understanding of which is just starting to be enhanced by brain imaging. It considers the effect on our brains of prolonged music making. It explores the motor processes across a range of instruments (vocal, string, wind, percussion) and within different performance situations. It also considers what happens when things start to go wrong - why motor problems occur in so many professional musicians in later life, and the possible therapies for such problems. Music is a topic of considerable interest within the brain sciences. With contributions from leading psychologists, neuroscientists, and neurologists, this book makes a unique contribution to our understanding of music and the brain.

Download or read book Acceptance and Commitment Coaching written by Jon Hill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jon Hill and Joe Oliver introduce the Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC) model with clarity and accessibility, defining it as an approach that incorporates mindfulness and acceptance, focusing on committed, values-based actions to help coachees make meaningful changes to their lives. Acceptance and Commitment Coaching: Distinctive Features explains the ACC model in such a way that the reader will be able to put it into practice immediately, as well as offering sufficient context to anchor the practical tools in a clear theoretical framework. Split into two parts, the book begins by emphasising ACC’s relevance and its core philosophy before providing an overview of its key theoretical points and the research that supports it. The authors also explain the six key ACC processes: defusion, acceptance, contact with the present moment, self as context, values and committed action, and explain how to use them in practice. Hill and Oliver address essential topics, such as the critical work needed before and as you begin working with a coachee, how to use metaphor as an effective tool as a coach, and they finish by offering helpful tips on how to help coachees maintain their positive changes, how to make ACC accessible to all types of client, how to manage challenging coachees and how to work with both individuals and groups using ACC. Aimed specifically at coaches, the book offers context, examples, practicality and a unique combination of practical and theoretical points in a concise format. Acceptance and Commitment Coaching: Distinctive Features is essential reading for coaches, coaching psychologists and executive coaches in practice and in training. It would be of interest to academics and students of coaching psychology and coaching techniques, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) practitioners looking to move into coaching.

Download or read book Is Performing Music Soothing Or Stressful? Two Perspectives written by Audrey-Kristel Barbeau and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This dissertation examines two perspectives on active music-making: Music performance anxiety (MPA) among musicians from different backgrounds and the effects of music-making on seniors' health and wellbeing. The research questions investigated (a) the extent to which performing music yields biological, psychological and social benefits and (b) the extent to which specific biological, psychological and social parameters influence MPA. Using the Biopsychosocial model (Engel, 1980), it was hypothesized that MPA would yield detrimental effects on musicians' wellbeing, whereas music-making would generate multiple benefits that could contribute to promote people's quality of life and healthy aging. Three studies were conducted for this doctoral thesis. The first study, in Chapter 4, provided a new version of the Performance Anxiety Inventory for Musicians (PerfAIM) and described its validation process. The psychometric properties of the PerfAIM were at first estimated with a sample of 69 musicians. After revision and translation, an exploratory factor analysis was carried out with a sample of 241 musicians that revealed four factors (1- Unpredictability; 2- Anticipation; 3- Threat to the ego; 4- Sense of control) explaining over 52% of the variance when combined. The second study, in Chapter 5, investigated the extent to which MPA affected cohorts of musicians performing classical music only, popular music only, or both styles of music. Significant differences were found in MPA between women and men; younger and older performers; people with generalized anxiety and those without; vocalists/arched string players and plucked string/woodwind/brass players, the former reporting higher MPA than the latter. Solo performance setting was considered the most stressful situation, and small ensemble setting the least stressful. Advanced musicians reported more MPA than expert musicians. Classical musicians indicated higher MPA than popular performers and musicians playing both styles. The aim of the third study, in Chapter 6, was to verify the effects of active music-making on beginner musicians aged 60 years old and over by exploring health-related benefits as well as the potentially deleterious impact of MPA during a concert. An experimental and a control group were followed over 15 weeks. The findings indicated that parameters associated with biological, psychological, and social factors mediated the musicians' levels of MPA and yielded positive outcomes for older adults participating in a community band. This thesis contributes to the field of music education in many ways. First, it offers the first questionnaire on MPA validated for classical and popular musicians in both English and French. Second, it provides valuable insights on MPA, including a comparison of multiple parameters (i.e. gender, age, trait anxiety, years of training, instrument, level of expertise, and performance settings) from the perspective of musicians playing different musical styles. Third, it reports new findings on older adults' perception of the initial phases of music learning and describes the impact of MPA in elderly beginner performers. On a practical level, the findings are discussed from a pedagogical perspective and applications to musicians are suggested. " --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to prove that listening to music prior to a major musical performance could help reduce Musical Performance Anxiety. As a result of this study, musicians at any level, but especially collegiate, would have another coping strategy to help mitigate personal levels of nervousness and apprehension. The following research questions helped guide the process of this study: (1) Does listening to music prior to a jury performance reduce musical performance anxiety? (2) Do those individuals in the music condition perform better than expected on jury performances? (3) Does listening to music prior to an end of the quarter performance examination affect adjudicator's perceptions of performer anxiety levels? Other objectives and secondary research questions are as follows: (4) How do collegiate musicians rank in terms of levels of state and trait anxiety compared to the average person as reported by Charles Spielberger in the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory? (5) What did those participants in the music condition of this study choose to listen to prior to their performance? Students were given the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAID-B) to assess and compare general anxiety levels versus those documented immediately prior to end-of-the-quarter musical performances known as juries. Participants were divided into two groups: (1) Music condition where students listened to music prior to their juries and (2) Control condition where the students prepared for their jury like they normally would. It was found that students that listened to music prior to juries had a lower state anxiety than those that did not listen to music. Given that the hypothesis margin of error was p is less than or equal to 0.05 a statistical significant relationship was indeed found. It can be deduced that listening to music prior to a major musical performance such as a jury can reduce levels of musical performance anxiety.
