Abstract
Mindfulness is widely recognized for its positive impact on enhancing attention and emotion regulation skills, particularly in managing music performance anxiety and promoting overall mental health and wellbeing. This lecture aims to introduce music students and teachers to the core principles of mindfulness, focusing on its health benefits, underlying mechanisms, and specific advantages for musicians. After the talk, the session will conclude with a discussion, providing opportunities for participants to ask questions, share personal experiences, and receive practical guidance.
The overarching goals are to inform attendees about mindfulness and its applicability to musicians, engage them in adopting these practices, and equip them with practical skills to manage the psychological demands of their musical training and support their mental health in the long term. Looking ahead, the aim is to explore the potential integration of mindfulness practices into the conservatoire curriculum, aiming to enhance music students’ wellbeing and performance excellence.
