From two important surveys one conducted by the Record Union label (2019), and another conducted by (Musgrave, 2020), it was obtained as a result that 73% of independent musicians suffer symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. In the case of musicians up to 25 years of age, these figures increase to 80%. Those responsible for this research related 4 of the 8 motives of the study to the feelings that can be generated during a musical competition, or students taking an interpretive academic exam, which generated curiosity about the traditional attitudes of teachers when approaching the teaching of the instrument, which are possibly related to stress, which is the first trigger of anxiety and depression disorders. The secondary effects of teaching attitudes in the teaching of the instrument such as perfectionism, authoritarianism, competitive spirit, and the demand for a rigid technique were evaluated, it was found that these teaching positions generate prolonged stress in students which can result in the development of anxiety disorders, depression, loneliness and other physical illnesses such as focal dystonia.
