About this exposition

In a society of continuous stimuli and instant rewards, concentration is an increasingly common topic in all educational debates. And music is not any different. Motivated by the idea of adapting both the practice and teaching of the clarinet to today's student with today's needs, this exposition investigates possible methods with the aim of enhancing the musician's ability to concentrate in both practice and performance. In order to carry out the research, the followed methods consisted on literature review of similar topics in sports and music psychology, methods of self-experimentation and experimentation with several pupils of totally different backgrounds (age, social situation, musical experience). After these tests, an explanation of the used methods, the reason for the chosen method, and an evaluation of the results are discussed. The results were positive overall, and demonstrated a greater evolution by using more dynamic and focused teaching/practice adapted to the needs of each individual, rather than the more usual teaching based on simple repetition.
