Dear NATS member,
I am a candidate for the D.M.A. degree in Vocal Performance at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, and I am currently working on my document titled, "Meditation for Singers: a Natural Treatment for Performance Anxiety." This project is designed to provide a useful and simplified reference on meditation designed specifically for those singers who would like to explore it as a possible treatment. I am working under the direct supervision of Dr. Susan Fleming, D.M.A., Professor at the University of Alabama. In this document, I intend to briefly review the various traditional treatments for performance anxiety, provide working definitions of "meditation" and identify its basic elements, provide descriptions of various forms of meditation and their objectives as well as recommendations for further study in each, and provide supporting scientific/psychological research on the effectiveness of meditation in reducing stress and anxiety. I would also like to briefly examine the issue of performance anxiety and how it affects singers in particular. Toward this end, I would appreciate your participation in a brief survey.
The questions contained in this survey are personal, however, your insights are considered very valuable. Rest assured that your responses will be reported only as group responses, and your name (which is not necessary) or email address will remain confidential. The group results of the survey will be posted on my home page at a later date, and I will be glad to notify you when that is available (inclusion of email address required for notification).
The survey is located at <A HREF="http://www.nats.org/members/surveys.html">http://www.nats.org/members/surv\ eys.html</A>; log in as you would any part of the Members' Section. For those of you who have not yet visited the Members' Section, you can find instructions on the home page for logging in under "Password Help."
Thank you in advance for completing this survey. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR SURVEY BY DECEMBER 15, 2000.
Thank you again for your participation and input.
