A Study on the Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Intervention Approaches for Music Performance Anxiety

Abstract

Music Performance Anxiety significantly affects musicians' artistic expression and professional development. In response to the lack of a systematic intervention pathway in existing research within this field, this study, based on cognitive psychology theory, first constructed a psychological model of Music Performance Anxiety focusing on cognitive appraisal and automatic thoughts. Building on this foundation, the paper systematically developed an integrated Cognitive Behavioral Intervention pathway model, detailing the integrated solution from cognitive restructuring to behavioral exposure and specialized skill training, along with its phased implementation components. Furthermore, it delves into the underlying mechanisms of this pathway: improving symptoms through cognitive regulation, shaping performance resilience through behavioral intervention, and maintaining long-term effects through the integration of cognitive and behavioral strategies. This study provides a systematic theoretical framework for understanding and intervening in Music Performance Anxiety.
