Background: Music performance anxiety (MPA) is understood as a sub-type of social anxiety and is characterised by fears of a musical presentation. Objective: To carry out a critical literature review on clinical and etiological aspects, perceived causes, coping strategies and treatment of MPA. Methods: Electronic databases PubMed, PsycINFO and Lilacs as well as specific periodicals were used based on the keywords symptoms, diagnosis, aetiology, perceived causes, coping strategies and treatment. Results: MPA is highly prevalent among musicians (> 16%), regardless of culture and formation. Cognitive, behavioural and physiological factors are associated with the aetiology of MPA, including biological and psychological predispositions. In addition, one should highlight factors related to the individual, aspects related to tasks and musical situation as perceived causes and/or predictor variables of MPA. As for the coping strategies, one can also highlight the use of breathing/relaxing techniques, increased musical practice, use of homeopathy and substances without medical prescription. Discussion: MPA is impacting in the musician's life. Despite the increasing interest in its study, it is necessary to better understand this complex phenomenon, mainly in the therapeutic context, in addition to the publicising and offering of services for prevention and treatment of MPA.

“…A number of other factors that have been shown to affect the severity of MPA in professional and aspirational student musicians have also been assessed in this study to ascertain whether these relationships are also apparent in non-music major students. These include female gender (Biasutti & Concina, 2014; Iusca & Dafinoiu, 2012; Kenny et al, 2014; Osborne & Kenny, 2008; Osborne, Kenny, & Holsomback, 2005; Rae & McCambridge, 2004; Wesner, Noyes, & Davis, 1990); lower self-efficacy (Liston, Frost, & Mohr, 2003; McPherson & McCormick, 2006; Papageorgi et al, 2010); performance setting (Chesky, Kondraske, Henoch, Hipple, & Rubin, 2002; Cox & Kenardy, 1993; Kenny et al, 2014; Langendörfer, Hodapp, Kreutz, & Bongard, 2006; Miller & Chesky, 2004; Papageorgi et al, 2010; Wesner et al, 1990); evaluative threat and fear of negative evaluation (Brotons, 1994; Fehm & Schmidt, 2006; LeBlanc, Jin, Obert, & Siivola, 1997; Nideffer & Hessler, 1978; Zakaria, Musib, & Shariff, 2013); and previous performance breakdowns (Osborne & Kenny, 2008).…”

This study assessed music performance anxiety (MPA) in ensemble rehearsals and concerts in 278 undergraduate non-music and music majors drawn from 10 Mid-Atlantic institutions in the US to examine the prevalence and experience of MPA in non-music major undergraduates and to determine whether MPA severity differed between non-music majors and music majors. Results for undergraduate non-music majors using the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory Revised (K-MPAI-r, Kenny, 2009) revealed cognitive, somatic, affective, and behavioral symptoms. Depression, being an instrumentalist, female, and having had a music performance breakdown made significant contributions to K-MPAI-r scores; depression made the strongest unique contribution to prediction of severity of MPA. Greater self-efficacy was correlated with lower MPA for both rehearsals and concert performances. Overall, MPA and depression indicator scores for the sample were higher than other groups that have been previously evaluated with the K-MPAI-r and the same depression screen. Although ensemble rehearsals were confirmed to be less anxiety provoking than performing solo and in ensemble concerts, students reported considerable MPA during both ensemble rehearsing and ensemble performing. The relatively high rates of MPA and indications of depression in the whole sample should merit concern for music educators.

“…Egyes kutatási eredmények nagyjából 15-25%-ra becsülik azon zenészek arányát, akik zenei teljesítményszorongással küzdenek (Steptoe, 2001), míg mások szerint ez az arány 16-40% között mozog (Fehm & Hille, 2005;Wesner, Noyes, & Davies, 1990). Egy vizsgálatban a zenészek 96%-a vallotta be, hogy közönség előtt idegesek és lámpalázuk van (Zakaria, Musib, & Shariff, 2013). Bár egységes definíció nincs a szakirodalomban, a leggyakrabban idézett meghatározás szerint a zenei teljesítményszorongás (music performance anxiety, MPA) "tartósan fennálló aggodalom érzete az észlelt és/vagy ténylegesen csökkent, társas környezetben előforduló előadói készségek romlása miatt, ami nem vezethető vissza a személy adottságaira, gyakorlására és a felkészülési szintjére" (Salmon, 1990, p. 3).…”
