Abstract:
Musical performance anxiety (MPA) is a common phenomenon among conservatory students that has direct effects on their academic performance and psychological well-being. This study examines the impact of MPA on students at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Canarias, employing a multidimensional approach that integrates psychological variables, coping strategies, physical activity, and entertainment habits. The K-MPAI, DPAA, and MLTPAQ questionnaires were applied using descriptive analysis, nonparametric tests, correlations, and a mediation model. Cognitive anxiety was identified as the main component of MPA, while self-confidence acted as a protective and mediating factor against motivation. Visualization was associated with motivation and coping with differences by specialty (pedagogy and interpretation), and no links were found between physical activity and MPA. The results indicate the need for MPA to be addressed comprehensively, incorporating technical training, psychological support, and wellness strategies.
