Podcast interviews on music performance anxiety

In academia we often get lost in jargon-filled conversations and stats which demand tremendous effort to make sense of. Although this can be exciting, there is the danger of losing touch with the "real world" outside academic circles. As a scientist, I believe it is important to break away from the bubble and present to wider audiences our work. Here I present two podcast interviews where I had the chance to talk about music performance anxiety (MPA) and the science behind it. 

I met Hanna-Kaisa Raninen at an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy course in the University of Jyväskylä. Hanna-Kaisa is a performance coach, MBA, entrepreneur and host of Vahvaradio. Being both interested in performance science, we thought an exchange between our musical and sports background would result in an engaging conversation. We were right. Here is the link to her website and podcast episode:

Pablo Macalupú is a cultural journalist and editor of Camello Parlante, in which he covers music-related news, reviews, interviews, etc. After the publication of my literature review on MPA, Pablo contacted me. The interest in MPA, and musicians well-being in general, is growing in my home country, Peru. Pablo kindly invited me to take part in one of his podcast episodes which you can listen to here (available in Spanish):

Thank you, Hanna-Kaisa and Pablo for giving me this platform to share my work and interests in the well-being of musicians!

Should you listen to music before you study? Obliterating the “Mozart Effect”

Image
*This entry was originally published in the Music, Mind and Technology  blog  on May 7th, 2017. Reading @kendraoudyk ‘s latest blog entry and its title (from which this title has been paraphrased) inspired me to write about something which some of you might have heard: listening to classical music can make you smarter. In this entry I intend to annihilate the unfounded believe that listening to Mozart’s music can increase our intelligence. Concretely, I am talking about the “Mozart effect” or the temporal score increase “in standardized tests assessing spatial task performance after exposure to the first movement ‘allegro con spirito’ of the Mozart sonata KV 448 for two pianos in D major” (Pietschnig, Voracek, & Formann, 2010, p. 314). My strategy will be two-fold. I will begin by describing the original study from which the media and commercial enterprises groundlessly distorted. After settling this ground, I will explain what further empirical research taught us about t...

A good outcome - Music performance anxiety

Beethoven's 6th piano sonata (op. 10 no. 2) makes part of the demanding Op. 10 triptych. Following months of practice and having memorised it, my due performance at Sibelius Academy approached. Since one week before, I noticed my old-friend anxiety was back. As part of my preparation, I recorded myself playing in two conditions: without anyone observing me, and during an online recital for friends and colleagues. I could have played with my score, but I decided not to do so and challenge me further. During the online recital, I had a memory lapse during the recapitulation of the third movement. A new problem, certainly. Here you can observe what happened to me while playing life: Naturally, this bothered me, specially since it is such a climatic section in the sonata (it is the first time in the movement that Beethoven indicates a fortissimo, ff). I swore and laughed mentally of the accident.  I learned to things from this experience. First, when I mar...

Welcome, Anxiety

  Are any of the following statements familiar to you? I don't understand why I feel like this before playing. I shouldn't feel like this. If only I could control my anxiety level, then I could play as I know I can. My hands are shaking and feel very cold. I better let this audition pass. I don't think I can.  These are some examples of musical performance anxiety (MPA). As musicians, we can experience these symptoms as very debilitating and interfere with our artistic development. It is not surprising that we want to control these experiences and we try everything to "fix" this problem. As we will see in this post, controlling is not the solution, but the problem. Imagine that there is a dial in front of your eyes and a switch behind your head (Hayes et al., 1999; Juncos & de Paiva e Pona, 2022). The dial marks the intensity of your MPA. The switch reads “I am willing to experience my MPA” or “I am not willing to experience my MPA”. Maybe your MPA dial is max...
