Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether the Functional Music Pedagogy (FMP) approach has a significant effect on music performance anxiety in children. The neglect of improvisation as a basic methodological tool in FMP instrumental practice could explain why the main effect of school type was not significant in this sample. The lack of Music Performance Anxiety differences between students who have learned music through distinct pedagogical approaches can be interpreted as a result of the physiological and psychological developmental changes that arise on entering puberty as a consequence of hormonal changes and increased emotions during early adolescence.Univerzitetna založba Univerze v Mariboru20182025-06-04 10:23:12Znanstveno delo93067UDK: 781:159.942COBISS_ID: 24273672DOI: 10.18690/rei.11.2.143-157.2018ISSN pri članku: 1855-4431sl
