https://doi.org/10.70478/Keywords:
Motivation, Psychological health, Classroom climate , Stage training , Pedagogical innovationAbstract
This exploratory-descriptive study analyzes the perceptions of students from Conservatories and Higher Schools of Music (CyESM) in Spain regarding mental and physical health in their training, focusing on motivation, self-efficacy, and performance anxiety, as well as their views on pedagogical innovation and the teacher-student relationship. Using a mixed-methods approach through an ad hoc questionnaire validated by experts, 401 responses were collected from 16 autonomous regions. The results reveal significant rates of musculoskeletal problems and performance anxiety, as well
as a clear demand to integrate psychological preparation, relaxation strategies, and stage training into the curriculum. Regarding innovation, students particularly value teacher preparation, empathy, and the professional competence of the teaching staff. The need for pedagogical methodologies that foster motivation and psychological and physical well-being is emphasized, within an innovative and holistic framework in the CyESM.
