Resumo / Abstract
The present research investigates the effectiveness of an instructional protocol of practice strategies for the initial learning stage of a musical piece by three organ students.
Seventeen practicing strategies were developed for learning the Prelude in F major (BWV 556) by J. S. Bach. Provided over ten practice sessions, the strategies involved activities before and after contact with the score. Participants were interviewed about the perceived effectiveness of the protocol.
The analyses of the verbatim transcribed interviews indicated emerging themes regarding perceived effectiveness of the strategies:
- Acceleration of time for understanding the work;
- Artistic image formation and acoustic mental representation;
- Technical and self-efficacy aspects for musical practice;
- Direct positive relationship with the final performance quality.
The results suggest that strategies applied at the early stages of organ learning may foster robust strategies in beginning students.
