Empowering Teachers to Manage Music Performance Anxiety within Teaching Studios: From Understanding to Strategy Development

Tuesday 11th February 2025, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM (London Time)

Music performance anxiety is a significant challenge faced by musicians of all ages and skill levels. This interactive course provides music practitioners with an understanding of performance anxiety, while also offering practical strategies to help musicians manage it.

The course aims to:

  • Understand music performance anxiety: Delve into the complexities of performance anxiety, exploring its associated theories, causes, and symptoms.
  • Recognise the musician learning environment: Discuss the performance-related pressures musicians face as they progress in their musical journey and learn about the educator’s role in identifying and addressing these pressures.
  • Explore the teaching studio: Consider the unique opportunities the teaching environment might offer in this area, as well as its challenges.
  • Apply evidence-based strategies: Learn practical, research-based strategies to manage anxiety in the teaching studio.

From managing performance anxiety through practical strategies, to incorporating supportive day-to-day teaching practices, this workshop aims to give music practitioners a solid understanding of performance anxiety and equip them with effective strategies to support musicians in their development.
