About this exposition

Name: José António Ferreira Dias Main Subject: Trombone Research Supervisor: Caroline Kang Title Research: Practice Performance for wind instruments. Research question: How can body and mental exercises influence our musical preparation for performance? What kind of techniques and exercises can influence our daily practice and performance? How can we apply them? In my research, I have been exploring techniques and exercises to improve my practice during the practice room and performance. As a trombone player myself, I searched for techniques and exercises that might help wind musicians during daily practice achieve a more relaxed and calm performance when under pressure. I made a selection of exercises and techniques that helped me, which I think might help others improve their daily practice. To put everything into practice, I started by creating performance sessions in my study room and invited people to watch and see if the exercises were really working. This research documents my process and experiences along the way. My research allowed me to change my routine and daily practice. Due to my findings, my daily practice has changed: inviting an audience into my practice room is now a regular part of my practice. I improved my efficiency and became more comfortable and relaxed playing for people. I improve faster than before this experiment. Keywords: Exercises, Relaxation, Daily Practicing.
