Abstract: This article examines the impact of academic procrastination on academic performance in undergraduate music students.

The research is based on quantitative survey data and is grounded in theoretical perspectives on academic procrastination proposed by authors such as Steel, Tuckman, Ferrari, and Umerenkova. The findings highlight the need for pedagogical and psychological strategies tailored to the specific demands of musical training.
