An Investigation of the Relationships between Memory Strategies, Performance Anxiety, and Memory Lapses among Classical PianistsKim, Min Kyung, 1983- 08 1900 (has links)
Unlike most other musicians, pianists need to play by memory during their recitals, juries, etc. Doing so can greatly influence the intensity and frequency of anxiety due to potential memory slips when performing. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between memory strategies, experiences with memory lapses, and performance anxiety among classical pianists. The specific aims of the study are to: (1) characterize demographics, performance practices, and memorization strategies used by college-level pianists; (2) assess experiences of performance anxiety and the influence of performance anxiety on memory lapses; (3) examine the relationships between demographics, performance practices, and memorization strategies; and (4) suggest various memorization strategies that might be useful intervention to overcome memory lapses. To examine participants' awareness and perception, a survey was conducted via invitation of participation from music schools and piano groups on social media, and the useable collected data came from 162 respondents. The results disclosed that pianists' awareness of memory strategies and performance anxiety were significantly correlated. It showed a relationship between knowledge of memory strategies and frequency of performance anxiety within their musical experiences.

Att sjunga utan snuttefilt : En studie i metoder för att sjunga utantill / To sing without a comfort blanket : A study of methods for singing by heartEmilsson, Arvid January 2023 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att förbättra min förmåga att sjunga utantill för att därigenom utveckla min konstnärliga uttrycksförmåga. För att göra detta utvecklades en egen metod för utantillinlärning av sångtext genom att två långa visor av Evert Taube studerades in: Möte i monsunen och Eldareval- sen. En litteratur- och intervjustudie användes som grund för val av inlärningsmetoder. Experimentet utfördes i två delar. I första delen av experimentet undersöktes fyra metoder för utantillinlärning av text; (1) Nedskrivning av texten för hand, (2) Skandering av texten (rytmisk läsning), (3) Gestaltning av texten med rörelser och slutligen (4) en kombination av de tre första. I andra delen av experimen- tet användes erfarenheterna av första delen för att förfina metoden. I experimentets båda delar gjor- des även enkla textanalyser som komplement till övriga metoder. Experimentet lades upp så att jag under fem veckor övade ovan nämnda visor med ovan nämnda me- toder under två dagliga pass på 25 minuter. Erfarenheterna av detta dokumenterades med 22 logg- boksinlägg och 19 videoinspelningar. Resultaten tydde på att den bästa metoden för mig var en kombination av de fyra metoderna där skandering av texten var den viktigaste i kombination med analys av texten. Beroende på textens in- nehåll kunde sedan nedskrivning av text och gestaltning med rörelser användas i olika grad. Resulta- ten verifierade också rådande forskning som säger att enbart studier av minnets struktur och upp- byggnad i sig själv är användbart för att förbättra förmågan till memorering av musik. / The aim of this study is to increase my capacity to sing by heart in order to increase my ability of ar- tistic expression. To do this, a method for text memorization was developed through the learning of two long songs by Evert Taube: Möte i monsunen and Eldarevalsen. Firstly, an interview- and litera- ture study was done. This was the foundation for the selection of methods that were used in the ex- periment. Four methods were applied in the first part of the experiment: (1) Handwriting of the text, (2) Rhythmical chanting of the text, (3) embodying of the text using movements and lastly (4) a com- bination of the previous three. In the second part of the experiment, the experience from the first part was applied in order to refine the method. In both parts of the experiment, simple text analyses were performed as a complement to the other methods. The experiment was done during five weeks where I practiced the above-mentioned songs and meth- ods daily for two sessions of 25 minutes. The experiences from this were documented through jour- naling and video documentation. The results indicated that the best method for me was a combination of all four methods where rhyth- mical chanting should be the main method in combination with a proper analysis of the text. Depend- ing on the content of the text the other two methods could be applied. The results also verified the current research where study of the memory on its own could increase the capacity of music memori- zation.
