In today's society, many young students are in the period of adolescent rebellion, and they are prone to conflict with their parents due to trivial matters and easily bullied by their classmates, resulting in excessive psychological pressure. Therefore, it is not easy to relieve students' psychological pressure. How to relieve students' psychological pressure? This study showed that music activities and rhythmic stress perception training can relieve students' psychological pressure. Music activities can improve students' emotional experience process and psychological quality. This paper used feature extraction algorithm to analyze both of them. The results suggested that the “anxiety” factor and "terror" factor of A and B before music activity and rhythmic stress perception training had the highest scores of 2.65 and 2.96 respectively, and the values after the training decreased to 1.52 and 1.62. Although it is still higher than the average score of 1.5, the gap between the two is not large, indicating that music activities and rhythmic stress perception training are conducive to relieving students' psychological stress, and there is an obvious positive relationship between the two.
