AOA, HED Interest Session - Renaissance, Ballroom E Performance Psychology in the Classroom - Erik Janners, Clinician Caterina Bristol, Presiding
The field of performance psychology has exploded in the last twenty-five years, with incredible amounts of research being done on musicians, dancers, athletes, and others. There exist aspects of performance psychology that are both individual and group-based, and both halves of this discipline can be useful to the music educator. Understanding the individual issues can help us understand how to help students with performance anxiety, a fear of failure, or some other mental block which is standing in the way of their full enjoyment of music. An understanding of group dynamics is of course invaluable in any ensemble! Don’t miss this incredibly informative and useful session on a side of music education that gets less attention than it should. It can make all the difference in your program! Session includes handouts and an additional reading list, as well as some participation activities in focus, distraction control, mental imagery and mental practice.
4:15 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. 4:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
