College students’ mental health attracted great attention from the public. Mental health can influence personal relationships, study, works and other aspects. In order to help college students reduce the anxiety level, this pilot study was conducted at Nanjing Normal Uni_x005fversity Music Therapy Room, and adapted receptive music therapy methods to test how receptive music therapy influences students’ anxiety symptoms. 12 college-aged participants were divided into 3 groups and experienced a 45 minutes receptive music therapy session.
