Practicing perfection: How concert soloists prepare for performance (2009, background): “…on longitudinal case studies of experienced soloists preparing for performance (Ginsborg et al., 2006; Lisboa et al., 2004; Noice et al., in press) which we have illustrated here with a pianist learning the Presto (Chaffin & Imreh, 2001, 2002, Chaffin et al., 2002; Chaffin et al., 2003, 2006).”
Preparing for memorized cello performance: the role of performance cues (2010, methodology): “The cellist used expressive performance cues as starting places at the beginning of all three learning periods, indicating that she started work each time with the musical ‘big picture’ in mind ( Chaffin et al., 2003; Neuhaus, 1973).”
The development of practising strategies in young people (2012, background): “However, there is evidence that analytic approaches can support secure memorization processes which would indicate their necessity at higher levels of expertise as more complex works are learned which need to be performed from memory (Hallam, 1997c; Chaffin et al., 2003).”
