Abstract

Music Performance Anxiety or MPA, is a set of symptoms that affects a large number of musicians regardless of their level of education, age and gender. Adequate levels of anxiety can be adaptive, however, when a certain threshold is exceeded, it becomes maladaptive and can hinder and even prevent musical interpretation. Contrary to what might be expected, there is still a lack of consensus today regarding the delimitation of this set of symptoms, as well as a great shortage of standardized measurement instruments for its detection. Focusing on this last aspect, the present work intends to carry out a bibliographic review of the different instruments that exist to quantitatively measure MPA. We find that one predominates and has been validated in different languages: the K-MPAI. The different versions of it will be analyzed in terms of their structural characteristics and psychometric properties and possible future lines of research will be proposed in relation to the results obtained, which indicate that there is still a long way to go in the study and diagnosis of MPA.
