Excellent Guide for Managing Performance Anxiety
Music performance anxiety is an ailment that seems to affect many musicians. As I have watched students struggle with MPA, I have often wished that I could take away the damaging effects of negative thought patterns and the resultant physical manifestations of such thoughts. I very much appreciate this book because the authors explored possible causes of MPA and shared a wealth of information related to managing MPA. I found the chapter "Especially for Teachers: Preventing Music Performance Anxiety" particularly helpful as it highlighted how to proactively help students move beyond the limiting influence of MPA.
