This paper relys mainly on mental measurement of anxiety reaction to investigate the experimental treatments effect on relaxation of music performance anxiety. With study tools of "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory" and "Kenny’s Music Performance Anxiety Inventory for Adolescents, MPAI-A","self investigate No.1"and "self investigate No.2". The experiment samples from two elementary music-telented classes who grades from five The data analyzed through qualification statistics analysis and interviews was then used to discuss the effects of progressive muscle relaxation training on relaxation music performance anxiety.. This study has two purposes: (1)study the preparation effects of progressive muscle relaxation training for music-telented students to ease the anxiety of state、trait and music performance anxiety.(2)study the contingency effects of progressive muscle relaxation training for music-telented students alleviate of state、trait and performance anxiety. The study includes：(1) probe into the performance anxiety of target students before an eight-week progressive muscle relaxation training courses prior to the performance (two months before performance) and after the 8 weeks progressive muscle relaxation training courses (half an hour before performance). The sampling divides the students into experimental group and control group, then measure on the results before and after the progressive muscle relaxation training for the two groups. (2) only contain one experimental group, the study compares the subject’s anxiety before conducting the progressive muscle relaxation training (half hours before performance),and after (ten minutes prior to performance). The research utilizes One-Way ANCOVA and One-Way ANOVA to discuss its results: (Ⅰ) progressive muscle relaxation training can not effectively alleviate the preparation state、trait and performance anxiety. (Ⅱ) progressive muscle relaxation training can effectively alleviate the contingency performance anxiety, although it can not effectively alleviate the immediate state and trait anxiety，but can help alleviate the state anxiety to grow. (Ⅲ)The experimental group students had positive feedback about the effects of progressive muscle relaxation training on alleviating performance anxiety. Finally, based on the research findings, teachers can apply the progressive muscle relaxation training in their courses and the researchers can further extend the study.
