  • Stage Fright: its experience as a problem and coping with it
    International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2011
    Co-Authors: Regina Studer, Horst Hildebrandt, Marc Arial, Patrick Gomez, Brigitta Danuser
    Abstract:

    Purpose and method This questionnaire survey of 190 university music students assessed negative feelings of music performance anxiety (MPA) before performing, the experience of Stage Fright as a problem, and how closely they are associated with each other. The study further investigated whether the experience of Stage Fright as a problem and negative feelings of MPA predict the coping behavior of the music students. Rarely addressed coping issues were assessed, i.e., self-perceived effectiveness of different coping strategies, knowledge of possible risks and acceptance of substance-based coping strategies, and need for more support. Results The results show that one-third of the students experienced Stage Fright as a problem and that this was only moderately correlated with negative feelings of MPA. The experience of Stage Fright as a problem significantly predicted the frequency of use and the acceptance of medication as a coping strategy. Breathing exercises and self-control techniques were rated as effective as medication. Finally, students expressed a strong need to receive more support (65%) and more information (84%) concerning Stage Fright. Conclusion Stage Fright was experienced as a problem and perceived as having negative career consequences by a considerable percentage of the surveyed students. In addition to a desire for more help and support, the students expressed an openness and willingness to seriously discuss and address the topic of Stage Fright. This provides a necessary and promising basis for optimal career preparation and, hence, an opportunity to prevent occupational problems in professional musicians.

  • hyperventilation complaints in music performance anxiety among classical music students
    Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2011
    Co-Authors: Regina Studer, Brigitta Danuser, Horst Hildebrandt, Marc Arial, Patrick Gomez
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective Despite the importance of respiration and hyperventilation in anxiety disorders, research on breathing disturbances associated with hyperventilation is rare in the field of music performance anxiety (MPA, also known as Stage Fright). The only comparable study in this area reported a positive correlation between negative feelings of MPA and hyperventilation complaints during performance. The goals of this study were (a) to extend these previous findings to the period before performance, (b) to test whether a positive correlation also exists between hyperventilation complaints and the experience of Stage Fright as a problem, (c) to investigate instrument-specific symptom reporting, and (d) to confirm gender differences in negative feelings of MPA and hyperventilation complaints reported in other studies. Methods We assessed 169 university students of classical music with a questionnaire comprising: the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for negative feelings of MPA, the Nijmegen Questionnaire for hyperventilation complaints, and a single item for the experience of Stage Fright as a problem. Results We found a significant positive correlation between hyperventilation complaints and negative feelings of MPA before performance and a significant positive correlation between hyperventilation complaints and the experience of Stage Fright as a problem. Wind musicians/singers reported a significantly higher frequency of respiratory symptoms than other musicians. Furthermore, women scored significantly higher on hyperventilation complaints and negative feelings of MPA. Conclusion These results further the findings of previous reports by suggesting that breathing disturbances associated with hyperventilation may play a role in MPA prior to going on Stage. Experimental studies are needed to confirm whether hyperventilation complaints associated with negative feelings of MPA manifest themselves at the physiological level.
