Abstract: This preliminary study sought out to assess the efficacy of a yogic approach to serve as a coping strategy for reducing Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) on Rock musicians. This is a very unique study which focuses only on the Rock music population. This study measures the level of MPA on Indian Rock Musicians and checks the efficacy of the yogic approach (Cyclic Meditation) pre and post intervention. It also determines the level of state and trait anxiety level. High score on the assessment tools are considered as high level of MPA, and state anxiety. The result shows that the mean value of Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (KMPAI) was decreased indicating that with the increase in the sample size and intervention period in future study, it can obtain a significant result that Cyclic Meditation serves as a very effective coping strategy for reducing MPA on rock musicians.
