The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on an upsurge of performance anxiety in adolescent music performance students : master's thesis

Mićić, Anica (author), Habe, Katarina (mentor)

The research aims to gain further knowledge of adolescent classical music students' mental well-being in times of a global crisis, in this case, the COVID-19 pandemic. The topic of performance anxiety will be discussed, as well as the underlying factors, such as social integration struggles, digitalization of the music scene, changes in everyday regimes, and their effect on one's relationship with the stage. Its effects on one's creative processes and potential career change doubts will also be touched upon. Interviewees reflected upon the matters through a series of guided focus group conversations, scoped by a post-pandemic subjective lens.

• Title: Vpliv pandemije COVID-19 na porast izvajalske anksioznosti pri mladostniških študentih glasbe

Abstract

Raziskava si prizadeva pridobiti nadaljnje znanje o duševnem počutju mladostniških študentov klasične glasbe v času globalne krize, v tem primeru pandemije COVID-19. Obravnavana bo tema izvajalske anksioznosti, pa tudi temeljni dejavniki, kot so težave s socialno integracijo, digitalizacija glasbene scene, spremembe v vsakodnevnih režimih in njihov vpliv na posameznikov odnos do odra. Dotaknili se bomo tudi vpliva na ustvarjalne procese posameznika in morebitnih dvomov glede spremembe kariere. Anketiranci so o teh zadevah razmišljali skozi vrsto vodenih pogovorov v fokusnih skupinah, usmerjenih z objektivom postpandemičnega subjektivnega pogleda.
