Music Therapy to Help Ease Mental Health Disorders Associated with COVID-19
Abstract
In-person school activities have suddenly become online-only. The trigger, of course, was the pandemic and government policies. Changes of this kind have triggered anxiety in adolescents in Indonesia, namely anxiety about the ability to adapt to the transition of learning from offline to online. This research focused on finding solutions to this anxiety through a musical approach. Data were collected through library research on COVID-19 and from school students in Indonesia for the period March 2020 to March 2021. The results showed that music therapy can help teenagers overcome anxiety. Music helps release endorphins and is useful for reducing excessive anxiety.
