​Rationale

• An estimated 31.9% of adolescents had any anxiety disorder.

• A recent study done on Keystone high school students showed that the average rating of anxiety level is 5.71 out of 1o. (2)

• Therefore, Anxiety is rather common among Keystone high school students.

• In fact, according to the same study, 134 out of the 200 participants (67%) listen to music to combat anxiety.

• Hence, music is a preferred method used by Keystone high school students against anxiety & stress

​

The Keystone Therapy Room

The keystone therapy room aimed to design a music therapy space on campus, to provide a visual and phonological therapy session to ease the anxiety symptoms of students, which would relieve their stress and prepare them for more focused learning.

​

The session utilizes the ISO principle, which suggests that music should be matched with the mood of a client, and then gradually altered to affect the desired mood state. 

​

Each session would last 5 minutes
