“…The impact of MPA on musicians is a frequently referred topic in literature worldwide 5,6,34 as is the need for studies which assess ways to treat and minimise this type of anxiety 35 . Thus, a relatively low number of studies performed thus far have aimed to assess the effectiveness of interventions to combat MPA, particularly if one considers the diversity of interventions and outcomes analysed and the limited number of subjects exposed to the interventions.…”

Background: Music performance anxiety (MPA) is characterised by fears related to performing music. It may result in damages to personal life and professional career, so treatment and prevention are very important. Objective: To undertake a systematic literature review on the effectiveness/efficacy of MPA interventions and to integrate these findings to those in the literature reviewed previously. Methods: We used PubMed, PsycINFO and SciELO databases and keywords music*, performance anxiety, treatment, therapy and intervention and manual research. We selected articles published between October-2002/July-2016. Results: Out of 97 articles, 23 were reviewed. Sixteen studies presented inter-group experimental design, and seven presented pre-post experimental design. The intervention modalities reviewed were cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), virtual reality exposure, biofeedback, yoga, meditation, music therapy and the Alexander technique. Although the interventions presented some indicators of efficacy in the MPA outcomes and improvement in performance quality, important methodological limitations were observed: low number of individuals and non-specific criteria for their inclusion/exclusion. This reinforces previous findings regarding methodological fragilities associated with this context. Discussion: CBT is the most frequently studied modality and with the greatest number of effectiveness indicators. The remaining modalities indicate tendencies in positive outcomes that require further and efficient investigation in more rigorous studies with greater methodological control.

“…The search for evidence of validity and reliability is also important in order to substantiate the psychometric properties of this scale and to stimulate its clinical use, as an assessment instrument for this impairing and underdiagnosed disorder 19,20 . Thus, it could open doors for the musicians seeking treatment to finally perform with success and reach the best of their musical careers.…”

Background: The Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI) is very significant among the available instruments which measures Musical Performance Anxiety (MPA). Objective: The aim of this study is to find evidence of validity of the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI), in its translated and adapted Brazilian version, through the study of its factor structure. Methods: A convenience sample of 230 amateur musicians completed the K-MPAI. Results: The initial factor analysis yielded eight factors, explaining 62.4% of variance. However, due to the factors' composition and internal consistency values lower than 0.50, the number of factors was later set at three, considering the internal consistency of those, the theoretical propositions and symptomatology aspects that supported the construction of scale. They were named "Worries and insecurity" (α = 0.82), "Depression and hopelessness" (α = 0.77) and "Early parental relationships" (α = 0.57). Discussion/Conclusions: These results point to the scale's construct validity, since they support the theoretical basis used for the development of the K-MPAI and the clinical manifestations of the MPA.

“…Como apresentam Barbar et al (2014) e Nascimento (2013), a ansiedade de performance 5 musical tem sido amplamente estudada e aparece como a principal manifestação de ordem psíquica relacionada à atividade. Grupo de transtornos que afetam indivíduos que precisam se apresentar em público, como artistas e esportistas, a ansiedade de performance caracteriza-se pelo medo da exposição, de fracassar ou de parecer ridículo (Barbar et al, 2014;Nascimento, 2013;Rocha et al, 2011).…”

No âmbito musical, há um número expressivo de pessoas acometidas por esse tipo de ansiedade, contudo, mesmo já tendo sido realizado diversos estudos, não há estatísticas precisas sobre a população atingida (Barbar et al, 2014). Estima-se que entre 15 e 25% dos músicos sejam acometidos pela ansiedade de performance em grau mais severo (Nascimento, 2013).…”

“…Estudos também demonstram que aspectos relacionados à dimensão psíquica e cognitiva, como tensão, nervosismo, ansiedade e cansaço mental, impactam fortemente a saúde desses trabalhadores (Barbar, Crippa, & Osório, 2014;Dobson, 2011;Kenny & Ackermann, 2013;Nascimento, 2013;Rocha, Dias-Neto, & Gattaz, 2011). A cultura da dedicação extremada e a busca pela execução impecável, assim como a ansiedade frente à plateia e o medo de errar são algumas das particularidades do meio musical que têm levado seus profissionais às vivências de sofrimento que nada lembram o trabalhador inventivo e realizado.…”

Resumo O artigo trata de investigação realizada acerca das vivências e das repercussões da atividade de trabalho na saúde e no cotidiano de músicos profissionais, a partir do referencial teórico e metodológico da ergologia e da psicossociologia do trabalho. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, apontou que a atividade de trabalho na música é permeada por constrangimentos relacionados às exigências da atividade, às cobranças por altos padrões de desempenho e ao mercado de trabalho, altamente competitivo e predominantemente informal. A presença de dor relacionada às demandas físicas e cognitivas do fazer musical foi apontada pelos entrevistados como a principal repercussão da atividade no cotidiano e principal motivo pelo qual buscaram atendimento. O cansaço físico e mental, sintomas de ordem psíquica e sacrifícios de ordem social e familiar foram outras repercussões descritas pelos músicos. Esses achados corroboram os dados já apresentados pela literatura e desconstruíram a visão de uma atividade de trabalho glamourosa.We only see glamour: A work psychology study with professional musicians Abstract The article deals with research about the experiences and repercussions of work activity on the health and daily life of professional musicians, based on the theoretical and methodological reference of ergology and work psychosociology. The research, of a qualitative nature, pointed out that the work activity in music is permeated by constraints related to the demands of the activity, to the high standards of performance and to the labor market, which is highly competitive and predominantly informal. The presence of pain related to the physical and cognitive demands of the musical making was pointed out by the interviewees as the main repercussion of the activity in the daily life and main reason for which they sought care. The physical and mental fatigue, psychic symptoms and sacrifices of social and family order were other repercussions described by the musicians. These findings corroborate data already presented in the literature and have disrupted the vision of a glamorous work activity.
