"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.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:27 Amanda's Journey in Music Education02:17 Understanding Music Performance Anxiety04:47 The Impact of Audience Perception07:56 Strategies to Manage Music Performance Anxiety15:38 Recognizing Symptoms of Music Performance Anxiety20:50 Tips for Parents and Teachers to Support Children27:30 Connecting with Amanda and Conclusionwww.groovelinemusiceducation.com@groovelinemusiceducation on social media!Looking for your next move as a music educator?
