Erickson Institute of South Africa  \nAbstract  \nAn investigation of the influence of trauma on musicians revealed concentration and memory problems as two of the most common symptoms hampering the performance of affected individuals. In many instances where the causes of these problems were related to trauma sequelae, these could clearly be linked to dissociative symptoms. The following sequence of topics is discussed: the nature of memory function in the musician; optimal performance and focus; trauma and dissociation and the resultant ways in which it interferes with memory. The effects of trauma on the unconscious mind, nature of associations, working memory, as well as similarity of states of optimal concentration and pathological dissociation are discussed to enhance understanding of how trauma sequelae can, theoretically, negatively affect musicians’ memory. Observations of teachers as gleaned from an extensive qualitative research survey, including that of students as well as teachers’ self-reports, are discussed, and narratives of three musicians participating as case studies explicated and compared to the literature. In the search for effective solutions, promising intervention strategies are identified. These include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming, Eye Movement Integration, hypnosis, body therapies, and the role of movement. Some suggestions for further research are made.  \nKey words: associations, dissociation, flashbacks, memory, musicians, sensory perception, trauma  \nAustralian Journal of Music Education 2010:2, 117-34  \nIntroduction  \nHandling the demands of complex mental processing of musical material is essential for any musician. The requirement of highly developed memory skills applies most evidently to performers, but also to music teachers, researchers and composers.  \nRegardless of whether a performance is done entirely‘from memory’1, processes that require highly specialized memory skills are involved in  \nany form of musical activity. The possibility of memory failure is a common cause of anxiety amongst musicians. Therefore it is not surprising that many musicians will go to great lengths to attain what they believe to be the best method  \nNotes  \n1. The phrase ‘performance from memory’ refers to playing a music instrument or singing in public without sheet music. This practice is conventional amongst especially professional pianists and singers, as well as amongst some other instrumentalists.  \nof preparation as well as the optimal mental and physical states to maximize the chances of achieving secure performances. The authors of this paper regard adequate preparation asthe most important prerequisite for successful performance. Yet they postulate that not all other aspects impacting on performance quality are fully understood. This article explores traumarelated dissociation, identified as a factor contributing to memory problems in an extensive study about the influence of trauma on musicians (Swart, 2009). Memory difficulties experienced by participants in this study included examples of these on stage, during practice and lessons, as well as temporary amnesia for music due to severe trauma.  \nIn what follows, a few characteristics of the nature of memory function in the musician are discussed before exploring the complex ways in which trauma can influence memory for music.  \nAims  \nThe aim of this article is to shed light on the impact of trauma on aspects of musicians’ musicmaking, particularly on its effects on memory during music performance and study. Effects on musicians’ memory are considered, explicated and discussed in the light of the rapidly expanding body of knowledge about factors involved in the trauma response, most notably that of dissociation.
