Research was done in the early 1990s on what separates first-class and second-class .
The purpose of this study is, why certain violinist is whether wonderful than the other obvious was to to do.
At that time, researchers went to the West Berlin Music School, which produced excellent musicians, and nominated the following three groups of violinists.
1, the best group. The best Baiori likely worked as an international professional soloist in the school percussionist us.
2, a better group. Not as good as the top group, but very good violinists.
3, good group. Violinists from another faculty within the university with lower admission criteria.
After graduation, the students in the third group often became music teachers in ordinary schools.
In this study, each group was considered to be in their early twenties and to have the same gender as much as possible. Then, personal data of the subjects were collected.
And the facts revealed as a result of the analysis are as follows.
"Violinist of many of the three groups in the standards, were mostly similar. Started the violin at about 8 years old, have decided to become a musician at the age of 15. The difference that there is meaning in the three groups It could not be found . By the time this study was conducted, the subjects had already played the violin for 10 years. "
In addition, the three groups spent the same amount of time a week on music-related activities. For example, individual lessons, self-practice, class lessons. The total time of the week was about 51 hours.
All three groups woke up early in the morning and spent hours on the violin.
It was a week of hard training.
Subjects clearly knew which activities were important for improving their violin performance . It was to practice for myself.
So far we haven't found any difference in the three groups.
After that, when asked to evaluate what is important for improving the violin among 12 activities related to music and 10 activities unrelated to music (housework, shopping, leisure, etc.) , everyone is asked. The first thing I did was practice alone.
I understood the importance of practicing alone, but the actual time spent practicing alone was dramatically different among the three groups.
The "best" and "better" groups average 24 hours a week.
But "good" group -flops did not practice only 9 hours of standing in the week.
The violinists have stated that training alone is the most important activity, but the most painful and uninteresting.
Since very painful practice of alone, to practice a lot need to adjust their own lives in their own way Ru.
The two groups, "best" and "better," practice on their own in the late morning or early afternoon, while still energetic.
The third "good" group of violinists, on the other hand, practice late in the afternoon.
It was the time when they seemed most tired.
Furthermore, the top two groups are different at another point as the third group had Tsu.
The upper group not only slept longer at night than the lower group, but also took more naps.
This was because practicing alone was exhausting and required a lot of rest to recover.
All three groups also had unlimited time. However, the one who practiced a lot by himself was an excellent violin player.
The effect of practice depends on the accumulation of repetitions. At this time, the "best" and "better" group of violinists were practicing 24 hours a week.
This was an overwhelming amount of practice compared to the "good" group of violinists .
No meaningful difference was found here in the practice time between the top two groups .
But the difference was the total practice time before reaching the age of 18.
By the time they reached the age of 18, the top group practiced on average 7410 hours .
The second group is 5301 hours.
The third group was practicing for 3412 hours.
As you can see from this figure, the higher the total amount of practice, the higher the performance. 😮
This study provides a compelling answer to the question of why some violinists are far better than others.
And this result also applies to other industries.
