Variables De Afrontamiento Y Psicológicas Explicativas De La Ansiedad Escénica En Instrumentistas De Viento Metal

Abstract

In the process of musical learning, one of the biggest problems that students must face is stage anxiety. This problem can even lead to the abandonment of studies or lead students to adopt addictive behaviours related to the use of substances to mitigate the harmful consequences that stage anxiety can cause. In this study and taken into account the triple vulnerability system described by Barlow (2000) the presence of higher or lower levels of anxiety is explained from personal characteristics such as helplessness, sensitivity to punishment or dispositional optimism. Thus, it is also studied how these constructs are related to the existence of thoughts of abandonment of musical studies, as well as to the existence of behaviours related to the consumption of substances to mitigate the effects of stage anxiety. It becomes clear how helplessness is a key mediating factor between personal and contextual characteristics in order to generate higher or lower levels of stage anxiety. For this study has been gathered a sample of students of metal wind instruments from 6 different centres of Spanish higher education. In this sense we consider that more research is necessary, with other types of instrumentalists in order to study if there are differences between them that could suggest the application of specialized training plans in the future.Keywords: Music education, music performance anxiety, optimism, sensitivity to punishment ResumenEn el proceso de aprendizaje musical, uno de los mayores problemas a los que los estudiantes deben hacer frente es la ansiedad escénica.

Predictors of music performance anxiety in conservatory students

“…At ages older than approximately 45–50 years, Fernholz observed a tendency toward lower MPA with increasing age (Fernholz et al, 2019). However, some studies have suggested that the start of musical training is more relevant than age for the development of MPA (Boucher & Ryan, 2011; Zarza-Alzugaray et al, 2017).…”

“…In one study, string players and singers reported significantly more MPA than did piano, brass, or woodwind players (Iusca & Dafinoiu, 2012). Zarza-Alzugaray et al (2016, 2017) found that piano and brass students experienced higher levels of MPA in comparison to other music students. However, these results may be associated with differences between primarily solo instruments and those generally played in an orchestra (Casanova et al, 2018).…”

Life satisfaction and adolescent music making: A comparison of youth choirs and bands in Spain

“…The conductors of youth bands, however, are typically careful to ensure that their leadership styles are different from those typically exercised in adult and professional ensembles (Gustems et al, 2015), and to create a climate of trust and avoidance of reproach. This, together with the prominence of the sound of brass and percussion in each band, could contribute to the building of performers' self-confidence, protect them from psychological vulnerability on stage, and consolidate their own capacity for leadership (Zarza-Alzugaray et al, 2016).…”

Scenic Anxiety in Professional Music Education Studies Learners’

“…It should be noted that Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) is a particularization of PA, which is defined as a subjective construct created unconsciously by the musician and that causes a disproportionate reaction to the stimulus presented, in this case, the stage, in any of its forms (Zarza-Alzugaray, 2016). This disproportionate reaction will be considered disadaptive, since it makes it impossible for musicians to perform in front of an audience, also causing harms at physical, cognitive, and behavioural levels, having a direct impact on the overall health (Burin & Osório, 2017).…”
