This study addresses musicians’ learning outcomes and subjective
experiences in two common types of mental practice: silent score
reading and score reading while listening to the music. The study
incorporates expert ratings of performances before and after mental
practice, questionnaire data concerning modal preferences, as well as
semi-structured interviews. The results revealed individual
differences in learning outcomes, attitudes toward the two types of
mental practice, and the use of imagery. The participants’ attitudes
and strategies were variously affected by their ability to audiate
newly encountered music, their possible preference for learning by
ear, and their need to process the score at their own leisure. The
results suggest that different types of mental practice might usefully
serve various individual purposes in instrumental education.
