Abstract:

The performance of musical students is an important element that plays an important role in their career development. Self-efficacy plays an important role to enhance performance. Self-efficacy is described as the judgments that individuals make about their ability to accomplish a given level of performance. Self-efficacy, when applied to musical performance, can be understood as the outcome of an individual's understanding of the musical abilities that they possess. This study aimed to identify how Chen Gang’s Violin affects the educational performance of students. For this purpose, the study investigated the role of musical self-efficacy on student performance. This study also explored the mediating role of learning engagement and moderating role of teacher support. A survey method was used to collect data from 230 students from music schools in China. The study considered only those students who play Chen Gang's Violin. A Questionnaire was adopted from previous studies to measure each variable. Smart PLS 3.0 was used for data analysis. The findings of the study showed performance of music students increases when they have music self-efficacy, learning engagement, and teacher support. Further studies are required to identify other factors which play a significant role to increase student performance.
