The missing gap of music education
We train musicians' hands,
but rarely their minds.
Between 59% and 70% of music students experience debilitating performance anxiety during their studies. Yet most institutions offer no structured support for it, leaving musicians to cope alone, often for the rest of their careers.
Peer-reviewed research confirms that mindfulness training significantly reduces performance anxiety and improves performance quality. The evidence is clear; what is missing is delivery. That is the gap this work fills.
