01/29/24 • 29 min
"Understanding and Managing Music Performance Anxiety in Children" is a podcast episode featuring Amanda Bond from Sound Mind. Bond discusses the topic of music performance anxiety in children and its prevalence, not just among older teenagers as initially thought, but also in younger ones from as young as four years old. Defining performance not just as an act on a stage with an audience, but also as the simple act of playing music, she explains the difference between stage fright and music performance anxiety. Apart from physical symptoms, she mentioned some symptoms that parents and educators could watch out for in their children, like avoidance, procrastination, technical errors in music playing, outbursts, and more. Offering solutions to manage the condition, she recommends reframing student's thought patterns around performances, supporting them as part of their musical community, and providing them personal autonomy in their music journey. Bond also offers music performance anxiety coaching sessions and workshops.
