This book was released on 2015 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music Performance Anxiety can effect musicians of all ages beginning as early as the elementary school years. Teachers, parents, and students are often not equipped to (a) identify the symptoms of MPA and (b) reduce their effect. This project provides teachers with tools they can use to identify and address the symptoms of MPA in middle school students. The exercises, for use in large group rehearsals, with small ensembles, and for home practice, are based on a review of literature on music performance anxiety. They were designed for use during rehearsal warm-ups and during home practice to help reduce the effects of MPA. The author also developed research-based questionnaires and checklists, which were peer-reviewed by other teachers.

Book Synopsis High School Teacher Perceptions of Music Performance Anxiety by : Stephanie D. Jasenak
Download or read book High School Teacher Perceptions of Music Performance Anxiety written by Stephanie D. Jasenak and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) can be defined as "the experience of marked and persistent anxious apprehension related to musical performance that has arisen through specific anxiety conditioning experiences, and which is manifested through combinations of affective, cognitive, somatic and behavioural symptoms" (Kenny, 2011, p. 433). This is a disorder that many students and performers, no matter what level or ability, seem to experience in the music classroom. Though MPA can inhibit students from reaching their full potential, there is a plethora of information available to guide teachers to become more aware and helpful towards students who are experiencing MPA. The concept is to see how much teachers really know and how are they being efficient and proactive in their classrooms to help their students. This study will examine the perceptions of five high school music teacher's views of Music Performance Anxiety as compared to existing literature. The qualitative data collected were grouped into four themes: (a) traits and symptoms, (b) coping techniques, (c) environments, and (d) impact of MPA. The teachers in this study appeared to feel that that there was a need for better education and knowledge on MPA in order to better assist their students.

Download or read book Highlights in Performance Science: Music Performance Anxiety written by Oscar Casanova and published by Frontiers Media SA. 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.

Book Synopsis Music Teachers' Application and Perceived Effectiveness of Techniques and Strategies to Reduce Music Performance Anxiety by : Randy E. Green
Download or read book Music Teachers' Application and Perceived Effectiveness of Techniques and Strategies to Reduce Music Performance Anxiety written by Randy E. Green and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the obstacles for student musicians to overcome can be music performance anxiety. Research has documented MPA from as early as third grade student musicians through professional adults and all levels in-between. Researchers have also studied many strategies and interventions to lessen the negative effects of MPA on musicians and their performances. Lacking from current research is documentation of what strategies/interventions music teachers are specifically using in the classroom to address MPA. The purpose of this study is two-fold: (a) to report on strategies and interventions music teachers in Utah use in their classrooms and (b) to report on the perceived effectiveness music teachers in Utah have for their strategies and interventions effect on MPA.
Book Synopsis Acceptance and Commitment Coaching by : Jon Hill
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 175 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.
Book Synopsis Managing Stage Fright by : Julie Jaffee Nagel
Download or read book Managing Stage Fright written by Julie Jaffee Nagel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that well-prepared, talented, hardworking, and intelligent performers find their performance and self-esteem undermined by the fear of memory slips, technique failures, and public humiliation? In Managing Stage Fright: A Guide for Musicians and Music Teachers, author Julie Jaffee Nagel unravels these mysteries, taking the reader on an intensive backstage tour of the anxious performer's emotions to explain why stage fright happens and what performers can do to increase their comfort in the glare of the spotlight. Examining the topic from her interdisciplinary educational, theoretical, clinical, and personal perspectives, Nagel uses the music teacher/student relationship as a model for understanding the performance anxiety that affects musicians and non-musicians alike. Shedding new light on how the performer's emotional life is connected to every other facet of their life, Managing Stage Fright encourages a deeper understanding of anxiety when performing. The guide offers strategies for achieving performance confidence, emphasizing the relevance of mental health in teaching and performing. Through the practices of self-awareness outlined in the book, Nagel demonstrates that it is possible and desirable for teachers to assist students in developing the coping skills and attitudes that will allow them to not feel overwhelmed and powerless when they experience strong anxiety. Each chapter contains insights that help teachers recognize the symptoms-obvious, subtle, and puzzling-of the emotional grip of stage fright, while offering practical guidelines that empower teachers to empower their students. The psychological concepts offered, when added to pedagogical techniques, are invaluable in music performance and in a variety of life situations since, after all, music lessons are life lessons.
Book Synopsis Free Improvisation and Performance Anxiety Among Piano Students by : Robert Gail Allen (Jr)
Download or read book Free Improvisation and Performance Anxiety Among Piano Students written by Robert Gail Allen (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The sensations of a dry mouth, perspiration, knot in one's stomach, lump in one's throat, or that tingling feeling referred to as the "butterflies," are phenomena generally thought to be symptoms of "performance anxiety." The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of anxiety that students experienced according to whether their public performance consisted of a free improvisation or a repertory piece. This was based on the assumption that a free improvisation instructional strategy might aid in reducing levels of performance anxiety among school aged piano students, and should therefore be systematically evaluated for its potential to offer improvements to music education. The researcher had two objectives: (1) examine the relationship of students' levels of anxiety to free improvisation and repertory pieces during a performance, and (2) examine the effectiveness of free improvisation as a treatment for the reduction of performance anxiety. The following instruments were used for data collection: (1) Spielberger's State--Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, (2) Musical Anxiety Report Scale (designed by the researcher), (3) Subject Interviews, (4) Parent Questionnaire, and (5) Performance Video. Thirty-six elementary, middle and high school students from a private music teaching studio were selected from a list of potential subjects available to the researcher. Participants were selected based on age (7-18 years) and years of training (1-3), as well as to comprise a gender balance. Sample criteria required that all subjects who participated in the study (1) play the piano, (2) claim to have experienced music performance anxiety, and (3) have not received any previous psychological or pharmacological treatment for their music performance anxiety. They were then randomly assigned to three groups (n = 12). Subjects within the treatment group(s) developed a free improvisation during weekly individual sessions, administered and observed by the researcher over a period of 6 weeks. Each participant was taught applications of scale, harmony, and rhythm elements from which to construct their free improvisations. Results from this study validated free improvisation as a treatment for significantly reducing anxiety during the public performance of a musical work.

Book Synopsis Performance Anxiety in Students by : Kate MacKenzie (D.M.A.)
Download or read book Performance Anxiety in Students written by Kate MacKenzie (D.M.A.) and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students afflicted with music performance anxiety (MPA) can greatly benefit from guidance and mentorship from a music teacher with whom they have established trust, however there exists a knowledge gap between the development and manifestations of MPA, and how it can be overcome in order to prepare the student for success as a performer. It is my purpose with this guide to inform musicians, including students and teachers, about MPA, common coping methods, and outside resources where pedagogues, students, and even professionals can find further guidance. This document is designed to aid music students and teachers in their individual research on the topic. The first section provides necessary background information on MPA and concepts of gender, identity, and personality. A discussion of the results of an experimental protocol that surveyed double reed musicians about their experiences with performance anxiety comprises the second section. An annotated bibliography, listing other resources including self-help books, personal accounts, and scientific studies, is contained in the final section of this guide. Because of the relative absence of research done on the correlation between MPA and specific identity traits including personality, self-image, and gender, it was necessary to incorporate more generalized sources relating to the topic. The annotations offer a more comprehensive approach to understanding and overcoming MPA. This work is not meant to be all-inclusive; rather, its purpose is to act as a basic guide.
