Advanced Musical Performance: Investigations in Higher Education Learning
To reach the highest standards of instrumental performance, several years of sustained and focused learning are required. This requires perseverance, commitment and opportunities to learn and practise, often in a collective musical environment. This book brings together a wide range of enlightening current psychological and educational research to offer deeper insights into the mosaic of factors and related experiences that combine to nurture (and sometimes hinder) advanced musical performance. Each of the book's four sections focus on one aspect of music performance and learning: musics in higher education and beyond; musical journeys and educational reflections; performance learning; and d...
Perspectives on Males and Singing
“Since singing is so good a thing,I wish all men would learne to sing” (William Byrd, 1588) Over the centuries, there has been reluctance among boys and men to become involved in some forms of singing. Perspectives on Males and Singing tackles this conundrum head-on as the first academic volume to bring together leading thinkers and practitioners who share their insights on the involvement of males in singing. The authors share research that analyzes the axiomatic male disinclination to sing, and give strategies designed to engage males more successfully in performing vocal music emphasizing the many positive effects it can have on their lives. Inspired by a meeting at the Australian symposium ‘Boys and Voices’, which focused on the engagement of boys in singing, the volume includes contributions from leading authorities in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States and Europe.

Understanding Scotland Musically
Scottish traditional music has been through a successful revival in the mid-twentieth century and has now entered a professionalised and public space. Devolution in the UK and the surge of political debate surrounding the independence referendum in Scotland in 2014 led to a greater scrutiny of regional and national identities within the UK, set within the wider context of cultural globalisation. This volume brings together a range of authors that sets out to explore the increasingly plural and complex notions of Scotland, as performed in and through traditional music. Traditional music has played an increasingly prominent role in the public life of Scotland, mirrored in other Anglo-American traditions. This collection principally explores this movement from historically text-bound musical authenticity towards more transient sonic identities that are blurring established musical genres and the meaning of what constitutes ‘traditional’ music today. The volume therefore provides a cohesive set of perspectives on how traditional music performs Scottishness at this crucial moment in the public life of an increasingly (dis)United Kingdom.
Csúcsteljesítmény
Vajon a velünk született adottságaink döntik el, miben lehetünk tehetségesek? Valóban 10 ezer órát kell gyakorolnunk ahhoz, hogy szakértővé váljunk valamiben? Hogyan segíthetjük hozzá a gyerekeinket, hogy csúcsteljesítményt érjenek el? Anders Ericsson egész pályafutása során sakkbajnokokat, hegedűvirtuózokat, élsportolókat és memóriaművészeket tanulmányozott. A Csúcsteljesítményben három évtized mítoszromboló kutatásait egyesíti hatékony tanulási stratégiává, amely alapvetően különbözik mindattól, amit hagyományosan gondolunk az új képességek megszerzéséről. Akár a munkahelyünkön szeretnénk kitűnni, akár sportolói vagy zenészi teljesítményünkön javítanánk, akár gyermekünk tanulmányi előmenetelében kívánunk segítséget nyújtani, Ericsson forradalmian új módszerei megmutatják, hogyan fejlődhetünk szinte bármilyen, számunkra fontos készség terén.

The Impact of Music on Human Development and Well-Being
Music is one of the most universal ways of expression and communication in human life and is present in the everyday lives of people of all ages and from all cultures around the world. Music represents an enjoyable activity in and of itself, but its influence goes beyond simple amusement. Listening to music, singing, playing, composing and improvising, individually and collectively, are common activities for many people: these activities not only allow the expression of personal inner states and feelings, but also can bring many positive effects to those who engage in them. There is an increasing wealth of literature concerning the wider benefits of musical activity, and research in the scie...
