Art in Motion; Musical and Athletic Motor Learning and Performance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783631582725)

Musicians tend to believe that the mystery of their art cannot be objectively studied, quantified, or explained. As a result, the term motor learning is rarely used in connection with musicians, and an empirical approach to musical performance is more the exception than the rule. Sports scientists, however, show a great interest in musicians because of their advanced skill level and the attentional and emotional demands of the concert stage. This work combines knowledge across disciplines. Advances toward an understanding of human behavior and cognition offer clues to strategies of motor learning and performance that promote the well-being of musicians and athletes. This book provides a forum for an interdisciplinary exchange of research, laying the groundwork for future projects.
