Abstract
The present study examined music performance anxiety and its relationship with social phobia on a sample of school and university students who are enrolled in choir (N = 100). In addition, this study sought to investigate the effect of gender, age, previous experience and musical training on music performance anxiety. The study relied on self-report measures where participants were asked to provide demographic and music-related information and fill two questionnaires: the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) and the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety (KMPAI). Results were computed using analyses of correlations, regression and variance. The results of the study showed that social phobia and music performance anxiety are positively correlated (r = .599) and that age is the variable that positively predicts music performance anxiety.
