Summary

This trial will test three simple techniques—box breathing, a cognitive reframing tool called 'Magnify,' and emotion regulation through song lyrics—in 200 middle and high school choir students. Researchers want to see if these music-based interventions can reduce anxiety and improve overall wellbeing. Students will use the techniques during regular choir rehearsals, and changes will be measured through surveys, interviews, and teacher observations.
