The objective of this research is to understand how a group of musicians of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB) are using strategies to control musical performance anxiety (MPA). A group of undergraduate and graduate music students was asked to respond the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI) questionnaire to assess their MPA level along with semi-structured interview, which was recorded for later analysis. In this dialogue, the subjects explained in detail how they are affected by the MPA and the strategies they use for its control. Reported strategies were: spirituality (prayer), use of beta-blockers, meditation routines to focus upon performance, consultation of self-help literature, self-talk, breath control, physical activity, positive perception of arousal, relaxation techniques, acceptance of small errors, switch instruments, simulation of performance and mental practice. The results confirm the existence of the MPA within the group studied and showed how it adversely affects the performance in some of the subjects. It also showed the lack of a systematic use of the different strategies to deal with the MPA.
