Psychological intervention reduces self-reported performance anxiety in high school music students
Overview
This study examines a group-delivered cognitive behavioral intervention designed to reduce self-reported music performance anxiety among 62 high school students. The program included psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, relaxation techniques, and imagery training aimed at supporting solo performances. Results indicated significant reductions in participants' self-rated anxiety levels, which were maintained at a two-month follow-up, although judge-rated performance quality showed no significant effect.
