Providing a theoretical and empirical foundation for the role of technical practice in the acquisition of musical mastery

世界著名女中音歌唱家塞西莉亚·巴托利将她非凡的声乐技巧归功于她的老师每天对她的个人关注。对于大多数音乐家来说，这种密集的个性化关注在经济上是不可能的，因此必须通过基于证据的、自我导向的技术实践（TP）来最大化教师接触时间的价值。这个多学科项目将应用世界领先的技术来发现掌握声乐所需的TP原理。通过运用这些原则，教师和表演艺术机构可以以经济有效的方式最大限度地提高音乐教学的有效性，从而巩固我们在音乐表演和表演艺术研究方面的世界领先地位。

Cecilia Bartoli, world-renowned mezzo-soprano, credits her phenomenal vocal technique to daily individual attention from her teacher. Such intensive individualised attention is financially impossible for most musicians so the value of teacher contact hours must be maximised through evidence-based, self-directed technical practice (TP). This multidisciplinary project will apply world-leading technology to discover the principles of TP required for vocal mastery. By using these principles, teachers and performing arts institutions can maximise the effectiveness of musical instruction in a financially cost effective way, thereby consolidating our place as a world leader in musical performance and in performing arts research.
