Abstract

Collective and individual practices are essential for popular music bands and their members when preparing for public performances. This study addresses the interplay of collective and individual practices in a sample of 82 members of semi-professional and professional popular music bands in Austria and Germany. Utilizing a structured questionnaire, practices were assessed within collective and individual practice contexts, and attributes and experiences pertinent to the current band and individual members were examined in terms of their reciprocal interplay, differences between semi-professionals and professionals, and relationships with the experience variables of groups and individuals. The results showed that collective and individual deliberate practices and the use of practice strategies were related in both practice contexts. Members of professional popular music bands invested significantly less time in collective practice for fun and significantly more time in individual deliberate practice. The results provide deeper insights into the interplay of collective and individual practices in music bands, the differences between semi-professional and professional practice designs, and the relevance of practice and professional experience for accomplishing professional music performance in general.

流行音乐中的集体和个人实践：奥地利和德国半专业人员与专业人员之间的差异

在准备公开演出时，集体和个人实践对流行乐队及其成员至关重要。本研究以奥地利和德国半专业和专业流行乐队的 82 名成员为样本，探讨了集体和个人实践的相互作用。通过结构化问卷，对集体和个人实践背景下的实践进行了评估，并从相互影响、半专业和专业之间的差异以及与团体和个人的经验变量之间的关系等方面，对当前乐队和个人成员的相关属性和经验进行了研究。研究结果表明，在两种实践情境中，集体和个人的深思熟虑实践以及实践策略的使用都是相关的。专业流行音乐乐队成员在集体娱乐实践中投入的时间明显较少，而在个人深思熟虑实践中投入的时间明显较多。研究结果对乐队中集体和个人练习的相互作用、半专业和专业练习设计之间的差异以及练习和专业经验对完成专业音乐表演的相关性提供了更深入的见解。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Music Education (IJME) is a peer-reviewed journal published by the International Society for Music Education (ISME) four times a year. Manuscripts published are scholarly works, representing empirical research in a variety of modalities. They enhance knowledge regarding the teaching and learning of music with a special interest toward an international constituency. Manuscripts report results of quantitative or qualitative research studies, summarize bodies or research, present theories, models, or philosophical positions, etc. Papers show relevance to advancing the practice of music teaching and learning at all age levels with issues of direct concern to the classroom or studio, in school and out, private and group instruction. All manuscripts should contain evidence of a scholarly approach and be situated within the current literature. Implications for learning and teaching of music should be clearly stated, relevant, contemporary, and of interest to an international readership.
