My dissertation is to confirm that memory security is an important factor that affects greater confidence in piano playing. This involves a lot of self-reporting approach and also the personal background of my musical playing. I have written out a bit of my background and I hope that you can write down your own as well as it would be beneficial to make it as a supporting evidence.
When it comes to memorizing a piece, Ive always used rote memory and Ive been relying more on my muscle memory and my hearing as well. I would love to touch base more on exploring other different memorization techniques that can help strengthen the memory more as compared to using rote memory and to see which one is more effective.
Ill be playing Brahms Intermezzi Op.117 No.1 (Piu Adagio) section as a documention. Id like to do a before and after experiment of using rote memory as the initial stage and using any other techniques that are stronger than rote memory so that we can prove that the after experiment is more reliable than using rote memory. Another technique that you could elaborate more is analysing the score. Please find 2 other memorization techniques other than rote memory so I can document myself using these techniques to see which one is more effective and enhance my confidence. I wont be giving you the documentations so I may need to know which technique out of these 3 are the strongest in leading to greater confidence.
Please feel free to input personal opinions together with the sources as well as it would also help in understanding in how it impacts my personal performance.
P.S I’ve also attached a sample of a dissertation paper that was written by my senior so I hope this would help you in some way.
