Sensory corrections when playing wind instruments to be not founded on acoustic or visual perception
Playing wind instruments, from the standpoint of biophysics of motor control and biomechanics, is a huge number of movements (visible and not captured by the eye). The latter are combined into actions and performance techniques in accordance with the solution of technical problems arising in the process of embodiment of a musical image. Control over the activity of the performing apparatus is carried out by the musician through feedback provided by hearing, vision and other sense organs that send signals about the implementation of human motor acts to the central nervous system. Based on the information received, the brain evaluates the actual results of the work and makes adjustments to the performing actions performed during sound extraction and sound formation. The article highlights the views of scientists and empirical ideas of music teachers about the functional role of sensory corrections not based on auditory or visual perceptions when playing wind instruments. The erroneousness of the mentioned ideas of practicing musicians about the role of sensations in the performing process is shown. It is noted that the coincidences in the assessments of sensory corrections by different individuals are exceptions to the rule, due to the unique features of the afferent system of each person.
A differentiated approach to the psycho-physiological levels of constructing playing movements is presented, designed to promote awareness of sensations that are caused by the functioning performing apparatus during sound extraction and control of the instrument’s sound. The prospects for the targeted use of these sensations to achieve productive results in performing activity are characterized.
The origin of various sensory corrections is revealed from the standpoint of physiology. The influence of factors of the external and internal environment of the musician on the correctness of sensations, the role of these factors in ensuring positive results of the activity of a modern performer are highlighted.
Key words
