Many experts mention that self-efficacy is reflected in the quality of performance and learning. Low levels of selfefficacy can result in depressive feelings, low self-esteem, pessimistic thoughts, and anxiety. Good levels of self-efficacyfavor learning, performance, improve motivation, resilience and health. This study aimed to build and validate a scale, toanalyse self-efficacy and self-efficacy sources, that can influence the beliefs of classical music students. Through a Delphipanel, made up of five specialists, the scale items were elaborated. The resulting scale, composed of 22 items, was basedon the general self-efficacy scale of Ralf Schwarzer and Matthias Jerusalem, and on Albert Bandura’s four sources ofself-efficacy. The scale was administered to 150 participants, students from various instrument and singing classes, whoattend polytechnic and university education institutions in Portugal. Statistical analyzes showed good reliability. We canconsider the elaborated scale a useful tool to assess the levels of self-efficacy and the self-efficay sources that influencethe musicians’ beliefs.
