A study on the importance of mind control in music performance - Focusing on the perception analysis of popular music related educational institutions and major students -
According to Saul Miller, a Canadian performance consultant, positive performers often say things like "I can do it" and "I will do it," so they can eventually do it and do it even if there are difficulties. It is also said that they live according to the basic rule of "you will get as much as you think." As such, mind control is as important as technology in performance. This paper describes the importance and necessity of mind control in the performance environment of practical music. In addition, we investigated how they perceive and respond to this topic in the field of practical music education and studied what kind of mind control they are doing in the actual performance environment and what the positive effects are. The purpose of this study is to provide research results on the effectiveness and importance of mind control to professors, learners, and performers related to practical music so that more positive effects can be derived in the performance environment. The research method analyzed the curriculum of educational institutions related to practical music and investigated how they responded to mind control. Through a survey of practical music majors, we first studied whether they were aware of the importance of this topic, secondly, whether they were actually controlling their minds, thirdly, what kind of mind control they were performing. Lastly we studied what the positive effects of students' mind control before their performance were. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the effect of mind control was great and important, but educational institutions did not recognize or educate mind control professionally, and only 45% of major students were aware of the importance. In addition, 30% of the majors have simple mind control that is not professional in performance, and 85% of the students have a positive effect.
