Abstract
Music performance anxiety (MPA) is a form of state anxiety resulting in a continuum of symptoms that frequently impede a musician’s psychological, physiological, and emotional capacities before, during, and after live performances. Through the lens of a qualitative case study approach, this study explored the video self-modeling experiences of undergraduate applied voice students regarding self-efficacy and MPA symptoms. The theoretical framework for this study was Bandura’s (1977a, 1997) self-efficacy theory. The research questions explored the perceived impact of video self-modeling and its potential influence on efficacy beliefs, outcome expectancies, and MPA among the target population. Candidates for this study were identified using the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI), a data collection tool designed to capture the presence and severity of anxiety as it relates to music performance (Kenny, 2009, 2023). Throughout the study, seven undergraduate applied voice students suffering from MPA created a series of four weekly self-modeling videos. Each of the self-modeling videos focused specifically on live performance experiences. Additional data were collected through in-depth interviews and video self-modeling reflection responses gathered from undergraduate applied voice students attending colleges and universities in the southeastern United States. The findings demonstrated video self-modeling can boost self-efficacy, reduce performance anxiety, and improve live performance experiences. Major conclusions suggest the need for a comprehensive educational policy and teaching methods that boost self-efficacy, foster social relationships in the learning environment, and reduce performance-related stress. Future research should explore the benefits of video self-modeling in reflective teaching and learning with graduate and professional vocalists.
