Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of classical music in
reducing math anxiety. The participants in this study were 14 public high
school students from class XI at Department of Social Sciences (IPS)
which has an average to above average IQ scores and high to very high
levels of anxiety. Data collection tool used Mathematics Anxiety Scale
and Evaluation Music Sheet. This study used a pretest-posttest experimental
with control group design. Random used in this study was a matching
system. Data analysis in this study used Wilcoxon test. The results of data
analysis showed significant decrease in scores between pretest and posttest
in the experimental group (KE) with p = 0.014. This result indicated that
classical music was effective in reducing math anxiety in students. Math
anxiety might decline as the students listen to classical music while learning
mathematics.
