Biographical predictors of music-related motor skills in children pianists
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study aimed to identify biographical predictors of children pianists’ motor skills in a relevant musical context. Motor skills at the piano were assessed in 30 piano-playing children by testing temporal evenness in standardized scale playing which is a basic element of piano technique. Questionnaires were used to collect detailed information regarding the practice habits and other biographical factors. Associations between performance values and variables from the questionnaire were investigated by multiple regression analysis. Besides the duration of piano education and the frequency of technical exercise, motivational factors and parental supervision predicted children pianists’ motor skills in the selected motor task, i.e. in a relevant musical context.
