Skill Acquisition in Music Performance: Relations between Planning and Temporal Control.
Drake, Carolyn; Palmer, Caroline
Cognition, v74 n1 p1-32 Jan 10 2000
This study investigated acquisition of music performance skills over 11 practice trials in novice and expert pianists differing in age, training, and sight-reading ability. The finding of a strong positive relationship between the mastery of temporal constraints and planning abilities within performance suggested that these two cognitive indicators are closely related and may arise from segmentation processes during performance.
