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 developing
expertise and professionalism. Although each chapter within its
home section offers a particular focus, there is an underlying
conception across all the book's contents of the achievability of
advanced musical performance and of the important nurturing role
that higher education can play, particularly if policy and practice
are evidence-based and draw on the latest international research
findings. The narrative offers an insight into the world of
advanced musicians, detailing their learning journeys and the
processes involved in their quest for the development of expertise
and professionalism. It is the first book of its kind to consider
performance learning in higher education across a variety of
musical genres, including classical, jazz, popular and folk musics.
The editors have invited an international community of leading
scholars and performance practitioners to contribute to this
publication, which draws on meticulous research and critical
practice. This collection is an essential resource for all
musicians, educators, researchers and policy makers who share our
interest in promoting the development of advanced performance
skills and professionalism.
