On todays episode I'm joined by music psychologist and researcher Jane Ginsborg. Jane is Associate Director of Research at The RNCM Centre for Music Performance Research. She is also Editor-in-Chief of Musicae Scientiae, Associate Editor of Music Performance Research and the Journal of Interdisciplinary Music Studies and a member of the editorial boards of Psychology of Music, Music and Science and Frontiers in Psychology.
In this episode we discuss strategies for effective practice and memorisation, including how to structure and monitor our practice and how to use performance cues to help with memorisation. We also discuss how to bridge the gap between practicing and performing and what to focus on during performance.
