"The two-volume Oxford Handbook of Music Performance provides a
resource that musicians, scholars and educators will use as the most
important and authoritative overview of work within the areas of music
psychology and performance science. The 80 experts from 13 countries who
prepared the 53 chapters in this handbook are leaders in the fields of
music psychology, performance science, musicology, psychology, education
and music education. Chapters in the Handbook provide a broad
coverage of the area with considerable expansion of the topics that are
normally covered in a resource of this type. Designed around eight
distinct sections - Development and Learning, Proficiencies, Performance
Practices, Psychology, Enhancements, Health & Wellbeing, Science,
and Innovations - the range and scope of The Oxford Handbook of Music Performance
is much wider than other publications through the inclusion of chapters
from related disciplines such as performance science (e.g., optimizing
performance, mental techniques, talent development in non-music areas),
and education (e.g., human development, motivation, learning and
teaching styles) as well as the attention given to emerging critical
issues in the field (e.g., wellbeing, technology, gender, diversity,
inclusion, identity, resilience and buoyancy, diseases, and physical and
mental disabilities). Within each chapter, authors have selected what
they consider to be the most important scientific and artistic material
relevant to their topic. They begin their chapters by surveying
theoretical views on each topic and then, in the final part of the
chapter, highlight practical implications of the literature that
performers will be able to apply within their daily musical lives."
