Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for the Treatment of Music Performance Anxiety: A Pilot Study with Student Vocalists
Overview
This pilot study examines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as an intervention for music performance anxiety among seven student vocalists. The resource describes a protocol focused on enhancing psychological flexibility rather than symptom reduction, involving twelve sessions of group performances and mindfulness exercises. It reports observed improvements in cognitive defusion, acceptance, and perceived performance quality at post-treatment and follow-up intervals.
