Abstract
In this study the relationships between the Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) levels and mindfulness levels of
Music Teacher Candidates (MTC) were investigated. A large sample of undergraduate students (N = 524) from
seven different universities from around Turkey took place in the study. The data was collected with both Kenny’s
MPA inventory and the Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire. The Pearson Moments Correlation Coefficient
was used in determining the relationships between the MPA and mindfulness levels of the MTC. To determine
whether the MPA of students and mindfulness differ in terms of piano lesson achievement and daily piano practice
time (DPPT) variables, a variance analysis (ANOVA) and a Kruskal Wallis H test analyses were used. Students’
mindfulness levels were negatively correlated with their MPA levels. Their piano lesson achievement levels had
positive relationship with mindfulness and a negative relationship with their MPA. Similarly, their DPPT had a
positive relationship with mindfulness and a negative relationship with MPA.
