I do not agree that such effect is necessary or is most common. Hearing
a perfect performance might in fact have a different effect - show that
it is possible to achieve that. It all depends on the background and
attitude.
I didn't say it was either necessary or most common. It does depend on
the person doing the hearing. But I remember many people whose response
to singing or playing an instrument is, "Oh, I can't play like that," so
they won't even try.
Of course, this is compounded by the way at least the American education
used to put a lot of effort into discouraging students from singing or
playing music ...
