MENTAL PRACTICE ON THE INSTRUMENT EDUCATION

Abstract

Musical performance is based on all of the cognitive, affective and psycho-motor skills. It is a highly complex activity that mostly stand out the interplay of these three areas. In addition, many of the principles and technical components of the unique functions, affect the quality of the musical performance. A musician's well performed musical performance requires a preparatory process that correctly designed and organized, carefully completed preparations. Therefore, the preparation process of a music performance is an important factor greatly determining the quality of performance exhibited. Musicians should see all opportunities as tools to struggle making music. Considering the importance of every opportunity to make music, all the tools which are served for musicians will cause to bring musical performance to desired level. The processes involving motor skills with the mental faculties without physical movements refers to as mental practise. In a broad range of literature it’s known as a preparation method that carries a lot of practise offerings. This study aims to aims to evaluate the mental practise from an overall perspective by revealing the issue.

ÇALGI EĞİTİMİNDE MENTAL PRATİK

Öz

Müzikal performans bilişsel, duyuşsal ve psiko-motor becerilerin tümüne dayanan, çoğunlukla bu üç alanın etkileşiminin öne çıktığı oldukça karmaşık bir etkinliktir. Bunun yanında birçok ilke ve teknik bileşenin de özgün işlevleri, müzikal performansın niteliğini etkiler. Bir müzisyenin müzikal performansı en doğru şekilde uygulaması için; doğru tasarlanmış, doğru düzenlenmiş ve hazırlıkların dikkatli tamamlandığı bir hazırlık süreci gerekir. Dolayısıyla bir müzik performansına hazırlanma süreci, sergilenecek performansın niteliğini büyük ölçüde belirleyen önemli bir öğedir. Müzisyen müzik yapabilmek için elindeki tüm fırsatları kullanması gereken mücadele araçları olarak görmelidir. Müzik yapmak için her olanağın önemli olduğu düşünüldüğünde, performansı istenilen düzeye getirecek bütün araçların müzisyene sunulması değer kazanacaktır. Mental pratik, fiziki hareketler olmadan, motor becerileri de kapsayan süreçleri zihinsel olarak işlemeye işaret eder. Müzisyenlere bir çok öneri sunan mental pratik literatürde bu yönüyle geniş bir yer tutar. Bu araştırma mental pratik uygulamalarını ortaya koyarak, konuyu genel bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
