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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate college piano students' pre-existing awareness of performance anxiety and to present deep breathing, deep muscle relaxation, and visualization as self-regulating techniques that might be potentially effective in alleviating physiological and psychological symptoms relating to performance anxiety. These techniques were presented in a performance anxiety workshop setting in which the participants were guided through a series of exercises in deep breathing, deep muscle relaxation, and visualization. Information obtained from the surveys revealed that pianists who performed more often, whether in solo or collaborative settings, experienced lower levels of anxiety than those who performed less frequently. The results also showed that the symptoms experienced by most participants did not imply that those symptoms were severe. A high percentage of participants indicated that they used deep breathing and positive thinking as coping techniques and found them to be effective. Following the workshop, participants rated the three self-regulating techniques presented in the workshop as potentially effective strategies in coping with performance anxiety.

Stage fright is one of the human psyche's deepest fears. Over half of British adults name public speaking as their greatest fear, even greater than heights and snakes. Laurence Olivier learned to adapt to it, as have actors Salma Hayek and Hugh Grant. Musicians such as Paul McCartney and Adele have battled it and learned to cope. Playing Scared is Sara Solovitch's journey into the myriad causes of stage fright and the equally diverse ways we can overcome it. As a young child, Sara studied piano and fell in love with music. As a teen, she played Bach and Mozart at her hometown's annual music festival, but was overwhelmed by stage fright, which led her to give up aspirations of becoming a professional pianist. In her late fifties, Sara gave herself a one-year deadline to tame performance anxiety and play before an audience. She resumed music lessons, while exploring meditation, exposure therapy, cognitive therapy, biofeedback and beta blockers, among many other remedies. She practiced performing in airports, hospitals and retirement homes. Finally, the day before her sixtieth birthday, she gave a formal recital for an audience of fifty. Using her own journey as inspiration, Sara has written a thoughtful and insightful cultural history of performance anxiety and a tribute to pursuing personal growth at any age.

"In recent years, extensive research has been conducted to discover new and more effective methods of alleviating music performance anxiety in advanced and professional pianists. However, there is little research that focuses on early performance experiences, especially in the elementary grades. Because various insecurities such as fear of failure often develop during childhood, it is essential to contemplate not only the treatment of performance anxiety in adult pianists, but also its prevention in young students..."--from the abstract.
