Abstract

In this study we seek to know the elements that constitute the experience of enjoyment in relation to its effects on the musical performance activity. Know/explore the experience of enjoyment in the performer. We will carry out an exploratory study (quali-quantitative) about the experience of enjoyment in musical performers. The asked question was: What effect do you think it has on your life to enjoy musical performance? Through the analysis of the participants' phrases, different psychological experiences were identified that were grouped into specific categories and their expressive components. 207 musical performers (81.15% male) between 16 and 55 years old from Buenos Aires (Argentina) responded in writing. The 207 subjects were categorized according to age, sex, type of instrument they performed.
