The Effectiveness of Mental Practice in Improving the Performance of College Trombonists.
Ross, Steward L.
Journal of Research in Music Education, v33 n4 p221-31 Win 1985
Thirty trombonists from three colleges were randomly assigned to five experimental practice conditions: (1) all physical practice, (2) all mental practice, (3) a combination of mental and physical practice, (4) mental practice with simulated slide movement, and (5) no practice. Results showed that the use of mental with physical practice can accrue many benefits for the skilled trombonist. (Author/JDH)
