Musicians are continually 'in the making', tapping into their own
creative resources while deriving inspiration from teachers,
friends, family members and listeners. Amateur and professional
performers alike tend not to follow fixed routes in developing a
creative voice: instead, their artistic journeys are personal,
often without foreseeable goals. The imperative to assess and
reassess one's musical knowledge, understanding and aspirations is
nevertheless a central feature of life as a performer. Musicians in
the Making explores the creative development of musicians in both
formal and informal learning contexts. It promotes a novel view of
creativity, emphasizing its location within creative processes
rather than understanding it as an innate quality. It argues that
such processes may be learned and refined, and furthermore that
collaboration and interaction within group contexts carry
significant potential to inform and catalyze creative experiences
and outcomes. The book also traces and models the ways in which
creative processes evolve over time. Performers, music teachers and
researchers will find the rich body of material assembled here
engaging and enlightening. The book's three parts focus in turn on
'Creative learning in context', 'Creative processes' and 'Creative
dialogue and reflection'. In addition to sixteen extended chapters
written by leading experts in the field, the volume includes ten
'Insights' by internationally prominent performers, performance
teachers and others. Practical aids include abstracts and lists of
keywords at the start of each chapter, which provide useful
overviews and guidance on content. Topics addressed by individual
authors include intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics,
performance experience, practice and rehearsal, 'self-regulated
performing', improvisation, self-reflection, expression,
interactions between performers and audiences, assessment, and the
role of academic study in performers' development.
