Combined Imagery/Physical Practice Yields Comparable Benefits to Physical Practice in Snare Drum Performance.
This study explored the effectiveness of combining motor imagery with physical practice in enhancing snare drum performance among trained percussionists. Motor imagery has promoted learning in related contexts such as sport but has yet to be applied in music training. Twenty-eight percussion majors were assigned to either a physical practice group or a combined imagery/physical practice group. Participants performed a novel snare drum excerpt while motion capture measured upper-limb movements prior to and following training. Temporal errors were also computed by comparing note onsets to the ideal timing specified by a metronome. Results revealed that temporal errors were lower in post- vs. pre-training performances, irrespective of group. In both groups, post-test performances were characterized by a higher average position of the mallets above the playing surface and greater hand velocity vs. pre-training performances. Notably, the combined imagery/physical practice group reported less perceived effort associated with training which coincided with an increase in training adherence likelihood. These findings highlight the potential of integrating motor imagery into music education to optimize practice efficiency, particularly when time constraints limit physical rehearsal opportunities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Motor Behavior, a multidisciplinary journal of movement neuroscience, publishes articles that contribute to a basic understanding of motor control. Articles from different disciplinary perspectives and levels of analysis are encouraged, including neurophysiological, biomechanical, electrophysiological, psychological, mathematical and physical, and clinical approaches. Applied studies are acceptable only to the extent that they provide a significant contribution to a basic issue in motor control. Of special interest to the journal are those articles that attempt to bridge insights from different disciplinary perspectives to infer processes underlying motor control. Those approaches may embrace postural, locomotive, and manipulative aspects of motor functions, as well as coordination of speech articulators and eye movements. Articles dealing with analytical techniques and mathematical modeling are welcome.
