The effects of the Neuro-linguistic programming technique “Anchoring” on Music Performance Anxiety Background: A lot of related researches based on cognitive behavior therapy, behavioral techniques and other scientific proven methods have been done on the overcoming of Music Performance Anxiety (MPA). The reality is that MPA exists even in the top-ranked music schools in Australia. Some final year’s music students of Melbourne University can play beautifully in their practice rooms, but reluctant to pay in front of people, and even if they do, their performance is impaired due to performance anxiety. It is common to hear performers in the weekly concert class said they were really anxious during the performances. It is very disappointing to see young musicians spend so many hours on a piece in an attempt to share the music to other people and then find it scary to perform in public. I always enjoyed playing the piano and performing, but my performance reduced in quality due to performance anxiety constantly. As a person who is really into self improvement and psychology, I became interested in the reason why musicians have performance anxiety. So, I started to apply what I have learnt in Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to help reduce my performance anxiety. As a result, using just one of the many techniques in NLP called “Anchoring”, my anxiety towards performing related situations was greatly reduced and I have started to enjoy playing in front of a mass of audience. The quality of my performance has also improved, too. The performance anxiety I am encountering right now only comes from the lack of preparation. I then started to apply the NLP anchoring technique to my music friends and piano students and majority of them managed to reduce their anxieties in not only performing, but also in other aspects of their lives. These aspects include public speaking, sport performance and social situations. The good thing is that the NLP technique is not hard to teach and also not hard to learn. If a person can keep an open mind and actually practice applying the technique, they could reduce their performance anxiety in a really short time and even achieve positive results instantly. I became really curious and wonder if the same results can be achieved by musicians from different backgrounds who play different instruments. Based on the current performance anxiety condition in musicians, I

Henry Leung have great concern in those music students who are suffering from performance anxiety. My passion in self improvement, my love for music and my strong sense of curiosity in music performance anxiety leads to my decision to propose to do this research. The findings of the research will not only benefit musicians but also in other professions as performance anxiety is also found among experts. I aim to discover more remedies that can be made practical and practicable. There are no researches on using NLP to overcome music performance anxiety yet, which makes perfect sense to add something new and refreshing to the music performance anxiety literature.

Literature reviews: Performance anxiety There has been much research on performance anxiety over the past two decades. Those researchers who suggest that anxiety may involve the coordination of several response systems. Personality factors could also contribute to performance anxiety. (Lang, 1968. Spielberg, 1979; Lang Miller, & Levin, 1988). Lang (1971) proposed a three-system model of anxiety. These three-system models are physiological responses, cognitive responses and behavioral responses. Although, these three-systems are described as separate entities, these systems are interrelated. Barlow’s (2000) model of performance anxiety is also useful in aiding our understanding of the cause of performance anxiety. Barlow proposed an integrated set of triple vulnerabilities that can account for the development of an anxiety. These are a: 1. Generalized biological (heritable) vulnerability; 2. Generalized psychological vulnerability based on developing a sense of control over salient events, and a 3. More specific psychological vulnerability whereby anxiety comes to be associated with certain environmental stimuli through learning processes such as respondent or vicarious conditioning.

2

Henry Leung De Nelsky to (1987 as cited in Robson, Davidson, & Snell, 1995) also proposed a similar model. The model suggested that MPA was likely to develop under conditions of: 1. Much early reinforcement for outstanding performance 2. Performances becomes a major basis for self-esteem 3. Increasing competition with fewer and fewer rewards available 4. Highly critical judges provide much negative feedback concerning performance 5. Perfection of performance becomes a primary goal 6. High practiced, automatic behavior becomes “de-automised” 7. The performer is obsessed more and more about possible negative outcomes 8. Performance anxiety mounts 9. A positive-feedback loop is established, which leads to ever-increasing amounts of PA. Kenny (2004) suggested that music performance anxiety may be triggered by conscious, rational concerns or by cues that trigger past anxiety producing events. Once these types of past negative events are triggered, the performer will not only go into a negative state, but also shifts into a self-evaluative attention state. These self-evaluative attentions are likely to be followed by several negative self-statements that will disrupt concentration and performance. This type of anxiety is similar to classical conditioning. It was demonstrated 100 years ago by Ivan Pavlov (who induced dogs to salivate by ringing a bell just before feeding them, and then ringing the bell alone). In one of the earliest studies of classical conditioning, an eleven month old boy name Albert was introduced to a white rat. Initially, Albert liked the rat and wanted to play with it. However, each time he reached for it, the experimenter made a loud noise behind him, frightening him. After five such noises, Albert had anchored fear to the rat, and panicked whenever he saw it. Having induced this phobia by anchoring, the experimenters were then able to remove it similarly. (Davison, G.C., and Neale, J.M., Abnormal Psychology, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1986)

Henry Leung In a controlled research study published in Germany (Reckert, 1994), Horst Reckert describes how in one session he was able to remove students' test anxiety using this simple technique. In another study, John Craldell discusses the use of anchoring to access a "self-caring-state" useful for adult children of alcoholics (Craldell, 1989), and in a third study, Mary Thalgott discusses the use of anchors to support children with learning disabilities (Thalgott, 1986). In (Reitman, 1997), it suggested that a music-assisted variant of systematic desensitization may help musician in reducing performance anxiety. The musicians may be able to cue a relaxation response by recalling the relaxing music in those musicassisted programs. This is closely related to NLP-anchoring. In (Csikzentmihalyi, 1992) and (Jackson, 1995), it has evidences on the occurrence of flow state in elite athletes and musicians during performing situation. The performers describe the experiences as exhilarating. There is a possibility that using NLP-anchoring, the performer can re-access this top state whenever they need to. Neuro-linguistic programming Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behavior and the subjective experiences (esp. patterns of thought) underlying them" and "a system of alternative therapy based on this which seeks to educate people in self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behavior". The co-founders, Richard Bandler and linguist John Grinder, claimed it would be instrumental in "finding ways to help people have better, fuller and richer lives”. They coined the title to denote a supposed theoretical connection between neurological processes ('neuro'), language ('linguistic') and behavioral patterns that have been learned through experience ('programming') and that can be organized to achieve specific goals in life.

Henry Leung NLP was originally promoted by founders Bandler and Grinder in the 1970s as an effective and rapid form of psychological therapy, capable of addressing the full range of problems which psychologists are likely to encounter, such as phobias, depression, habit disorder, psychosomatic illnesses, learning disorders. It also espoused the potential for self-determination through overcoming learned limitations and emphasized well-being and healthy functioning. Later, it was promoted as a 'science of excellence', derived from the study or 'modeling’ of how successful or outstanding people in different fields obtain their results. It was claimed that these skills can be learned by anyone to improve their effectiveness both personally and professionally NLP had strong influence in management training, life coaching, and the self-help industry. NLP organization has been established around the world offering different NLP courses and these include NLP practitioner, NLP master practitioner and NLP training. These organizations include The American Board of NLP, International Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, NLP Comprehensive, International Neuro-Linguistic Programming Association, NLP ASIA, The Mind Institute etc. The NLP organization in Australia includes: Australian Institute of NLP, Inspiritive, Tad James NLP etc. Anthony Robbins Personal development guru Anthony Robbins teaches people how to use NLP for personal transformation in his seminars all over the world. He also teaches NLP in his self-help products. These products includes: Awaken the Giant Within, Personal Power, Get the edge etc.

Henry Leung Paul McKenna Paul Mckenna has hosted self-improvement television shows and presents seminars in hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming and weight loss. In the 1990s, McKenna presented a number of TV programmes including The Hypnotic World of Paul McKenna (1993-1995), Paul McKenna's Paranormal World (1997) and Hyp the Streets (1999). In January 2008, the Discovery Channel signed a £23 million deal with McKenna to make a series of self-help programmes. To date, the deal is the largest ever for a British TV personality. The first of his I Can Make You Thin programmes aired on TLC, The Learning Channel on 16 March 2008. He used NLP Technique-Anchoring to help people overcome compulsive eating in the “I Can Make You Thin” TV show. Neuro-linguistic programming technique – “Anchoring” In NLP, “anchoring” refers to the process of associating an internal response with some environmental or mental trigger, so that the response may be quickly, and sometimes covertly, re-accessed. Anchoring is a process that on the surface is similar to the “conditioning” technique used by Pavlov to create a link between the hearing of a bell and salivation in dogs. By associating the sound of a bell with the act of giving food to his dogs, Pavlov found he could eventually just ring the bell and the dogs would start salivating, even though no food was given. In the behaviorist’s stimulus-response conditioning formula, however, the stimulus is always an environmental cue and the response is always a specific behavioral action. The association is considered reflexive and not a matter of choice. In NLP this type of associative conditioning has been expanded to include links between aspects of experience other than purely environmental cues and behavioral responses. A remembered picture may become an anchor for a particular internal feeling, for instance. A touch on the leg may become an anchor for a visual fantasy or even a belief. A voice tone may become an anchor for a state of excitement or confidence. A person may consciously choose to establish and retrigger these associations for him or herself. Rather than being a mindless knee-jerk reflex, an anchor becomes a tool for self empowerment. Anchoring can be a very useful tool for helping to establish and reactivate the mental processes associated with creativity, 6

Henry Leung learning, concentration and other important resources. The notion of “anchoring” emerged in NLP when Bandler and Grinder were first modeling the hypnotic techniques of Milton Erickson. Erickson often used or suggested particular cues as posthypnotic triggers to help a person change his or her internal state or reaccess a hypnotic trance. Grinder and Bandler generalized the use of these cues and triggers to include other types of internal processes, without the need of initially establishing a hypnotic state. By 1976 the first NLP anchoring techniques (such as collapsing anchors) were developed. It is significant that the metaphor of an “anchor” is used in NLP terminology. The anchor of a ship or boat is attached by the members of the ship’s crew to some stable point in order to hold the ship in a certain area and keep it from floating away. The implication of this is that the cue which serves as a psychological “anchor” is not so much a mechanical stimulus which “causes” a response as it is a reference point that helps to stabilize a particular internal state. To extend the analogy fully, a ship could be considered the focus of our consciousness on the ocean of experience. Anchors serve as reference points which help us to find a particular location on this experiential sea, and to hold our attention there and keep it from drifting. Similar to the Metaphor of a Boat or Ship, an Anchor Is a Reference Point that Stabilizes a Particular State The process of establishing an anchor basically involves associating two experiences together in time. In behavioral conditioning models, associations become more strongly established through repetition. Repetition may also be used to strengthen anchors. For example, you could ask someone to vividly re-experience a time she was very creative and pat her shoulder while she is thinking of the experience. If you repeat this once or twice, the pat on the shoulder will begin to become linked to the creative state. Eventually a pat on the shoulder will automatically remind the person of the creative state.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if NLP technique-Anchoring can reduce music student’s different stages of performance anxiety. These stages include the period leading up to the performance, the moment just before the performance and during the performance. This study will attempt to answer the following questions: 1. What symptoms and MPA experiences have been encountered by Melbourne University music students participating in the program? 2. Does NLP technique-anchoring help to reduce MPA for these students? 3. How anchoring help these students before and during the performance? 4. Are the results permanent?

Research Design: This study will incorporate a pre-and post-treatment, repeated measures factorial design to examine the effects of NLP technique-Anchoring in reducing the symptoms associated with Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) in University-level music students. The subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the following three groups: Group 1 is the control group, only participate in the pre and post performance, receive no treatment. Group 2 is the placebo group, has some other treatment like deep diaphragm breathing. Group 3 is the NLP group – Learn how to use NLP-anchoring to reduce performance anxiety.

Subjects: The study will require at least 60 participants and they will be spit into 3 groups. Eligibility requirements for participants 1. Music students that will have a performance exam at the end of the semester 2. MPA is impairing their performances 3. MPA cause them to avoid performance-related behaviors

Henry Leung 4. Available to meet for 60 minutes on 6 consecutive weeks, participate in pre- and post-performances and written assessments, and complete all homework assignments.

Procedures: Subjects will be recruit from Melbourne University faculty of music and vca via posted advertisements, concurrents and emails. Potential subjects will be given a participant identification sheet, a personal history questionnaire and treatment consent form.

Pre-treatment and Post-treatment performance Subjects will be asks to perform a 5-10 minute piece from standard classical repertoire, which they had played in a most recent recital or audition in front of audiences. They are require to do this before and after the treatment

Treatments Group 2 and Group 3 will receive 6 weekly treatment sessions after the Pre-treatment performance. Group 1 will not receive treatment.

Treatment for Group 2Every week they will receive a 60 minute sessions on deep diaphragm breathing. They will imagine different future performance related situation and when the anxieties come up, they will be instructed to do deep diaphragm breathing until the anxieties are lessen. They will be taught how to practice it at home.

Treatment for Group 3Every week they will receive 60 minutes sessions on NLP-Anchoring. The will be taught how to create different self-anchors and anchor different positive states that will be beneficial to performance related situation. They will imagine different future performance related situation and when the anxieties come up, they will be taught how to use the anchor to collapse the anxieties. They will be taught how to practice it at home

Measure Measurement for Pre-treatment and Post-treatment performance To measure subject’s pre-treatment and post-treatment perceived anxiety for each performance, a modified version of the State scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, Vagg, & Jacobs, 1980) will be use. (see Appendix A, B) The post-performance Items 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 of both forms will score in reverse order. Each item of the scale will be given a weight score of one to four as specified in the manual of this standardized test. The total scores for the scale can vary from a minimum of 20 to maximum of 80. (Brotons, 1993) Measurement for the treatment groups during the weekly sessions (group 2 and 3) Daily practice logs: Participants will need to keep a record of how often they practice the deep breathing and anchoring training. How do they practice etc. They will be given a questionnaire to see how often they practice. (see Appendix D) Performance logs: Participants will be encouraged to apply what they learn immediately. They will be encourage to do some informal performances for friends or family member or any other anxieties inducing situations to test the effectiveness of those anxieties reducing technique. They will need to keep a record of how they feel about those performances. They will be given a questionnaire to see how often they do practice performance. (see Appendix D) Weekly session’s questionnaire: For each session, they will be ask to fill out a questionnaire to see what their current anxieties level are using a modified version of the Basic Anxiety List for Musicans (Appel, 1976) (see Appendix C)

Analyzing the results: To analyze the final results of the research is by comparing the anxiety level score from the Pre and Post-treatment forms of all three groups. To analyze the weekly anxiety level for the treatment groups is by comparing 1-10 rating of the weekly session’s questionnaire. Their daily practice log will be taken into account when analyzing the results.

Outline of the 6 weekly sessions for the treatment groups Group 2: Week1 – Week6 Every session, participants will be instructed to do deep breathing to relax themselves in different imagined future anxious performing related situation. Group 3: (See Appendix E, F, G for detail explanation of the exercises) Week1 Induction to NLP What is anchoring? Practice creating an anchor Week2 Self anchors Part 1 Creating a “confident’ anchor Week3 Self anchors Part 2 Creating a “relax” anchor Week4 Self anchors Part 3 Creating a “excitement” anchor Week5 Circle of Excellence Week6 Collapsing Anchor

Other things to consider related to the study: Alternate weekly sessions may needed for some participants. The size of the NLP group may need to be smaller to make sure each participant get enough attention. Some participants may need one on one session to grasp the NLP-Anchoring concepts and apply it accurately. The study may need one-two research assistants when organizing the pre and post treatment performances.

Self anchors Installing Anchors 1. Decide on the state you want to anchor. For example being calm and relaxed. 2. Choose an anchor (or anchors) that you wish to trigger the resourceful state. 3. Recall a memory or imagine a situation where you can experience the state. So recall or imagine a time when you experienced the state. 4. Active the anchor or anchors when the experience is vivid and you are in the desired state. 5. Release the anchors when the experience begins to fade.If you keep applying the anchor when the experience is fading, then you will anchor a drop in calmness and relaxation! 6. Do something else - open your eyes ... count down from 10 to break state and distract yourself. 7. Repeat the steps several times, each time making the memory more vivid. This is not actually required when the anchor is established at the high point of the experience. However, you can strengthen the anchor by establishing it at the high point of several such experiences. 8. Apply the anchor and check that the required state occurs. 9. Future pace the situation where you want to experience the desired state. Fire the anchor to check that it creates a sufficiently resourced state.. 10. Check the anchor the next day to ensure it is a permanent anchor.

Tips • • •

• • •

The anchor (or anchors) should be fired in exactly the same way every time you link them to the resourceful experience. Anchor at the high point of the experience containing the resourceful state. If you do not experience the state when future pacing and especially if you experience anxiety, then stop applying the anchor. (You will anchor the negative state!) There is a knowingness which makes anchoring work that is established by the unconscious mind. You can strengthen the anchor by repeating the above process over several days. If you are in a situation where you experience the desired state in reality, then you can re-establish the anchor to that situation.

Circle of Excellence The Circle of Excellence is a basic self-anchoring process originally developed by Dr. John Grinder co-creator of NLP. Circle of Excellence can be used to elicit, create and stabilize desired states. 1. Identify the external triggers for unresourceful state. These could be visual, auditory, tactile or smell or taste stimuli. 2. Build a powerful resource state using the circle of excellence technique. To create a circle of excellence, draw an imaginary circle on the floor or mark a circle in chalk large enough to step into. 3. Remember experiences where you felt powerful, creative, composed, or any resourceful state where you felt balanced and centered. 4. Step into the circle only as quickly or slowly as you remember and re-access the resourceful state through your inner senses. ie. See what you saw through your own eyes within the actual experience, hear the sounds and language used, and get in touch with your posture, breathing and emotions when inside the desirable resource memory. Note that an observer would see changes in your physiology such as better posture, deeper breathing, and skin colour changes. If there is no noticeable change In your physiology the resource state is either poorly accessed or low intensity. If it is low intensity, choose another resource state that is more powerful. 5. Repeat step 4. With an additional resource state, continuing to add resource states One at a time. When you have enough resources, you step automatically into a very powerful state on entering the circle which is truly now a circle of excellence. 6. Recall a trigger for the unresourceful state as you step into the circle of excellence. Repeat process with each old trigger. Or ask your partner to play role the various triggers (gestures, words, voice tones etc) as you step into the circle of excellence. Reference for Circle of Excellence Process: Circle of Excellence developed by John Grinder.

Collapsing Anchors 1. Select a certain feeling you want to get rid of. As you feel it squeeze your finger and thumb on your left hand to anchor this state. 2. On an intensity scale of 0 to 10, where is this feeling? 3. Break state. Now think about what you would like to feel instead. What would make you remain in a more resourceful state, Relaxation, Humor? etc. (May I suggest you choose humor because humor is an incredible gift from the gods) 4. Now choose one of the resourceful states you have come up with and remember a time you felt that resource strongly. What does this resourceful state feel like? 5. Remembering that resourceful state, anchor it to your right hand by squeezing your finger and thumb together. 6. On an intensity scale of 0 to 10, where is this feeling? Important: Make sure that this resourceful feeling is more intense than the fearful feeling. 7. Break state: Now squeeze your left hand finger and thumb anchor, hold it, at the same time as you squeeze the right hand finger and thumb anchor. Keep both anchors on for a few seconds, say 7 seconds. (Note: Many people get a sense when the anchors have "collapsed" or integrated, often by a noticeable shift in breathing.) 8. Release the left hand anchor and just hold the right hand anchor for a couple of seconds. 9. Break state: Now think of the original feeling you selected in step 1.
