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.

Music performance anxiety has long frustrated the artistic community and, while tricks and folk remedies abound, a comprehensive plan to solve this problem has remained elusive. Accomplished violinist Casey McGrath combines her experiences with the research of Karin S. Hendricks and Tawnya D. Smith to provide a resource guide to the most current solutions and therapies, as well as educational applications, for both individual and classroom use. Divided by area of therapeutic interest, Performance Anxiety Strategies presents relevant and noteworthy research and insight into some of the most popular and many lesser-known therapies—including holistic, exposure, cognitive, behavioral, and medicinal treatments. Each chapter also features self-guided activities and exercises, words of wisdom from established performing artists and athletes, and suggestions for music teachers, as well as first-person narratives about the authors’ personal journeys with music performance anxiety both onstage and in the classroom. Including a wealth of offerings and approaches, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone who has ever experienced performance anxiety, from the aspiring classical musician to the garage band guitarist.

"Musical Performance Anxiety (MPA) has been widely and long recognized as a common problem for adult professional and amateur musicians. This study explores performance tension in adolescent student musicians between 11 and 18 years of age. This research seeks to present a systematic overview of the existing, limited research of teenagers' perception of music anxiety in the performance setting. Eight instrumental music students were selected as participants, based on their age and past experience of performance anxiety. These participants were interviewed in depth and their responses were analysed. The findings suggest that treatment methods in combination with effective MPA oriented teaching can positively influence students' psychological well-being. This study highlights the role of teaching awareness of the challenges of MPA together with treatments available to adolescent performers."--Abstract.

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.
