Study of Biorhythm Effect on Performance Quality of Musicians (A case study: University of Tehran)

Great musicians have always provided many recommendations to control and facilitate confronting the difficult conditions of important performances. These recommendations can be a subgroup of self-management and using stress management and etc. to manage uncontrollable emotions during the performance. There are a lot of techniques that musicians usually use to overcome the severity of stressful moments during their performance, but the lack of an efficient strategy to overcome the negative results of emotions or stress still exists. So the relation between the life cycle and performance of the musicians is to be revealed. In this paper by a more extensive review of this matter and introduction of significant biorhythms and also evaluation of the relation between the performance quality and the biorhythm, the relation has been studied. A Discriminant Analysis (DFA) has been used to evaluate this relation. Similar studies to measure the relation between the performance quality in music and biorhythm have not been conducted yet. But many researchers have performed studies to measure relation between biorhythms and some other events such as accidents and etc. The results of which have been categorized into two groups. Some have refused the relation between the events and biorhythm and the others have accepted it and interpreted it meaningful. This study belongs to the second group.
