Understanding motivation and practice quality in elite music performance

这个项目研究了精英音乐表演的动机和实践质量。它应用了来自其他领域的主要理论解释，在这些领域中，优化动机和实践质量一直被发现可以提高绩效，持久性，学习，创造力和幸福感。该项目的预期成果涉及澳大利亚音乐家的竞争力，特别是考虑到与国际同行相比，对音乐机构的供资大大减少。这项研究试图通过扩展迄今为止主要通过人类成就的非艺术领域的研究形成的概念，更普遍地了解动机和实践的性质。

This project examines motivation and practice quality in elite music performance. It applies major theoretical explanations from other domains where optimising motivation and practice quality has consistently been found to increase performance, persistence, learning, creativity, and wellbeing. The expected outcomes of the project address the competitiveness of Australian musicians, particularly in light of significantly lower funding for music institutions compared to international counterparts. The research endeavours to inform understandings about the nature of motivation and practice more generally, by extending conceptions that have until now been formed largely through research in non-artistic domains of human accomplishment.
