This paper focuses on researching the performance anxiety experienced by college students. It identifies the causes and effects of performance anxiety by reviewing relevant literature. The study utilizes the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Scale in the form of a questionnaire to investigate music performance anxiety among college students. Additionally, SPSS is applied to analyze the potential correlation between college students' music performance anxiety levels and their music experience. The questionnaire data shows good credibility and analysis reveals differences in music performance anxiety based on college students' majors, ages, music experience, and personalities. The correlation analysis shows a negative correlation between music education duration and general psychological vulnerability, but not with specific cognitive aspects of music performance.
