About this exposition

Research Question: How can a classically trained singer enhance the quality and efficiency of his/her practice sessions with the focus on specific short-term goals and their execution in the context of preparation process of a music composition, using the tools from the book Quality Practice by Susan Williams and the principles of the psychology of flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly? Summary of Results: If the quality of our performance depends on the quality of our practice, then it is necessary to work on the practice process itself. With this research I wanted to find out how would better management of short-term goals in my preparation process influence the quality of the process. According to what I have learned and experienced during my entire music education, I created a series of ten worksheets with specific, more or less usual exercises. With the help of the tools and exercises from the Exploration, External focus, Audiation chapters of the book Quality Practice by Susan Williams and principles of flow according to Mihaly Csikszentmihaly I enriched the content of the worksheets and improved their execution. Not only the process of creating the worksheets was enjoyable but also my practice sessions became more exciting, time saving and voice saving. I started feeling as the owner of my practice time and its content and I am going out of my practice room with a feeling of achievement and satisfaction.
