Summary
This study tested whether group music therapy can improve emotional well-being, anxiety, and social connectedness in university students. 120 students in urban China were randomly assigned to active music-making, guided music listening, or a waitlist. Both therapy formats were delivered in weekly 60-minute sessions for 6 weeks. The goal was to see if these simple, enjoyable activities could boost mental health.
