Conocimiento acerca de las estrategias de práctica instrumental al inicio del Grado Superior de Música

It is possible to think that a student of instrument that accedes to the Superior Degree of Music, after approximately 10 years of formation, should have an effective practice and, therefore, an adequate management of numerous strategies. In this sense, the study was designed in order to corroborate the state of previous knowledge of students entering the Conservatory of Music of Aragon with respect to various strategies of instrumental practice of effectiveness endorsed by previous research and / or professional experience of Great interpreters. The descriptive research presents a qualitative methodology in which the techniques of data collection have been the questionnaire and the personal interview with a subsequent triangulation of results. The results show that, on average, only 38.89% of the students knew and managed the proposed practice strategies before their participation. Thus, the contents of the didactic program implemented were, in general, unknown, especially for the wind-metal players. In summary, the findings obtained warn of the need to train higher-level students in strategic practice in order to optimize their individual study.
