Mindfulness meditation practices have garnered a lot of popularity in recent years. Various psychological benefits of mindfulness meditation have been documented in a myriad of literature. In this pilot study, we evaluated the effectiveness of a short-term mindfulness training program on time-based musical perceptions of pre-service music teachers. Here, time-based perception entails the accurate perception of pattern, meter, and tempo. A one-group pretest–posttest design was implemented as a model. Pre-service music teachers ( n = 8) completed the rhythm, rhythm-to-melody, and tempo subscales of the modular-PROMS before and after undergoing an 8-week-long mindfulness training program. Whereas significant enhancements of rhythm and rhythm-to-melody perceptions were observed, a similar kind of enhancement was not detected with respect to tempo perception.

正念冥想计划对增强音乐时间感知的影响：一项试点研究

近年来，正念冥想练习非常受欢迎。大量文献记载了正念冥想的各种心理益处。在这项试点研究中，我们评估了短期正念训练计划对职前音乐教师基于时间的音乐感知的有效性。在这里，基于时间的感知需要对模式、节奏和节奏的准确感知。将一组前测-后测设计作为模型实施。职前音乐教师（n = 8）在接受为期 8 周的正念训练计划之前和之后完成了模块化 PROMS 的节奏、节奏到旋律和节奏子量表。虽然观察到节奏和节奏到旋律的感知显着增强，但在节奏感知方面没有检测到类似的增强。
