Imagery and Improvisation: The I's In Musical Practice

Filipe Henriques de Oliveira

About this exposition

This artistic research aims to analyse the effectiveness of the application of imagery and improvisation in my practice. These practice strategies have been explored in abundance individually but not so much in combination. A practice method combining both was created in order to understand its impact on the motivation, focus, satisfaction, level of energy, enjoyment and engagement with the musical piece experienced by a classical guitarist during practice sessions. These levels were monitored by using an after practice questionnaire. Furthermore, live presentations and the use of the Critical Response Process were used to obtain external feedback as to understand how much the employment of this technique in practice affected the performance. The application of this method proved to be effective in my motivation and expressive feeling. However, its application must be previously well planned as it is explained at the end of this exposition.
