MPA is experienced by 80% of musicians (Musicians Union survey 2023) and MPA can be a barrier to music performance for many children, especially in their teenage years.

Recent studies confirm that MPA is experienced by 75% of teenagers and is the number one reason teenagers stop making music. Those with MPA who choose to stay with music making can experience negative effects through excessive worry, somatic symptoms, and low musical self-efficacy, alongside negatively affected performance outcomes.

Sound Mind offers training to teachers, musicians, and students to manage the anxiety that can come with making music to help them become happier and healthier performers with improved performance outcomes.
