<![CDATA[Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh binaural beats alfa terhadap dimensi kecemasan somatik proksimal pada Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) mahasiswa Program Studi Penyajian Musik Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta. Penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain pra-eksperimental one group pre-test post-test dengan repeated measurement. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 12 mahasiswa semester VI yang sedang menempuh mata kuliah Resital II dan dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Intervensi berupa binaural beats alfa 10 Hz diberikan selama 20 menit menggunakan aplikasi Expand dengan teknologi Hemi-Sync®. Tingkat kecemasan diukur menggunakan Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI) dengan fokus pada dimensi proximal somatic anxiety. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kondisi baseline tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara skor sebelum dan sesudah performa tanpa intervensi (p = 0,754). Pada kondisi intervensi, rata-rata skor kecemasan menurun dari 47,00 menjadi 40,42 setelah pemberian binaural beats alfa, namun hasil uji Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test menunjukkan bahwa penurunan tersebut tidak signifikan secara statistik (p = 0,350). Dengan demikian, pemberian binaural beats alfa tidak memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap penurunan dimensi kecemasan somatik proksimal pada Music Performance Anxiety mahasiswa Program Studi Penyajian Musik Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta, meskipun terjadi kecenderungan penurunan rata-rata skor kecemasan setelah intervensi.Kata kunci : binaural beats alfa; music performance anxiety; kecemasan performa musik; mahasiswa musikThe Effect of Alpha Binaural Beats on Music Performance Anxiety Among Music StudentsThis study aimed to examine the effect of alpha binaural beats on the proximal somatic anxiety dimension of Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) among students of the Music Performance Study Program at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Yogyakarta. A quantitative approach was employed using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design with repeated measurements. The sample consisted of 12 sixth-semester students enrolled in the Recital II course, selected through purposive sampling. The intervention involved listening to 10 Hz alpha binaural beats for 20 minutes using the Expand application with Hemi-Sync® technology. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI), focusing on the proximal somatic anxiety dimension. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed no significant difference between anxiety scores before and after performance in the baseline condition without intervention (p = 0.754). In the intervention condition, the mean anxiety score decreased from 47.00 to 40.42 after exposure to alpha binaural beats; however, the reduction was not statistically significant (p = 0.350). These findings indicate that alpha binaural beats did not produce a significant effect on reducing proximal somatic anxiety associated with Music Performance Anxiety among music students. Nevertheless, the observed decrease in mean anxiety scores suggests a potential benefit that warrants further investigation using larger sample sizes and more rigorous research designs.Keywords: alpha binaural beats; music performance anxiety; music students; performance anxiety; proximal somatic anxiety]]>
