This study aims to investigate the role of music in mitigating learning anxiety and shaping attitudes towards English language learning among university students using a qualitative approach. Employing focus group interviews as the primary research method, nine participants were engaged in in-depth discussions to gather comprehensive insights into their experiences. Through inductive content analysis, this study identified three categories: ‘learning anxiety,’ ‘learning attitude,’ and ‘academic achievement.’ Key elements and sub-elements were identified for each theme. The findings reveal a significant reduction in learning anxiety and a positive shift in attitudes towards English language learning when music was incorporated into the learning process based on suggestopedia. These results underscore the potential of music as an effective tool in English language education. This study emphasizes the need for educators to consider integrating music into their teaching methodologies and calls for further research to explore the potential benefits of this approach across various learning contexts.
