Abstract:

The purpose of this experimental research was to investigate whether Mental Rehearsal and Imagery (MRI) activities would have effects on Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) among junior high students of Bomigo University Practice School. Subjects (N=50) were taken through a pre-test, a two-day Mental Rehearsal and Imagery (MRI) treatment and a post-test. Their heart rates were recorded by medical experts after each test. The study achieved a ratio level data. Results of a t-test conducted on the two groups revealed t (11) = 4.7, p < .05, indicating that MRI had a significant influence on MPA. Future research will help measure differences in the extent of effect that MRI may have on Music Performance Anxiety of students at other grades/levels.
