Its structural components are semantic declarative, kinesthetic, and emotional memory. Musical performance concerns the production of musical artwork by vocal or musical instrument forms.

It is regulated and organized from the level of ‘reading a vista’ the musical notes text until completed memorizing for the target level of music performance. The article, from the health psychology mainstream, presents methodical, practical tips with recommendations resulting from the biological principles, regularities, and specifics of this process revealed in the empirical data of such areas as neuropsychology, psychophysiology, cognitive psychology, biological psychology, and music pedagogy, with additional independent empirical verification in counseling of musicians at the professional music education level.
