Hello,
My name is Johanna Römer, I’m writing to you together with my research partner, Quinn Frazee. We are psychology students from Leuphana University in Lüneburg, Germany and we are currently conducting research for our theses on Music Performance Anxiety among student and professional musicians.
In addition to Music Performance Anxiety, we are investigating a few variables we hypothesize to be relevant regarding musicians’ performance outcomes and wellbeing. We are hoping to collect a large and diverse sample of participants from different countries and regions to contribute to providing further insight into this topic; and we would be very grateful if this is something you would like to participate in!
Here are a few practical details about the study:
- Format: online survey
- Duration: ~15-20 mins
- Criteria for Participation:
- Either a music student (currently enrolled at the time of participation in a conservatory- or university-level music training program) as a performance major, or as a music education major who is actively enrolled in a studio and performing regularly;
- Or, a professional musician (your primary source (at least 50%) of your professional engagement is performing).
and:
- 18 years or older (or age of majority in your country/state/district)
- Familiar with using digital devices
- Fluent in English
- Anonymity: participant responses and all data will be treated confidentially. All data collected, analyzed, and published will be anonymized. You will not be required to provide any personally identifiable information, nor will it be possible for ourselves or others to link any responses to your identity.
If you meet the criteria outlined above, and would like to participate in this study on Music Performance Anxiety, please use this link below:

Thank you so much for your time and interest! Participating in and sharing this study with other interested and eligible musicians greatly supports our research goal of gaining insight into music performance anxiety as a construct, as well as musicians’ well being in general.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!
Best,
Johanna Römer & Quinn Frazee
