Wellness as a Concept of Holistic Well-Being in the Performer’s Artistic Performance
Abstract
This article examines the concept of wellness as an integral dimension of well-being in musicians. It proposes an interdisciplinary study encompassing neuroscience, performance psychology, music education, and human physiology. These multi-disciplinary analyses culminate in a holistic approach to understanding the factors that influence the quality of emotional, psychological, and cognitive well-being. The study addresses aspects such as physical training, mental health, emotional intelligence, and stress-coping strategies. Finally, it presents an expanded vision of the art of learning to perform, where the musician's personal well-being is considered an essential component in the pursuit of artistic excellence.
KEYWORDS: Integral well-being, physical and mental health, emotional intelligence, performance excellence, holistic, approach.
