Abstract

In my experience as a flute teacher, the other things that students do besides their weekly instrumental lessons are practice and reflection after the class. Many students do not improve before and after practice but spent much time on it. What is the reason for this inefficiency? In order to explore the reasons, I have read a lot of literature. In the research from McCormick and McPherson [1], the results of instrumental practice are related to self-regulation. Both beginners and professionals perform better when they utilise metacognitive techniques during practice. Hallam defined metacognition as learners’ self-regulation by planning, monitoring, and evaluating throughout the practice process [2]. These studies and my experience began to engage me in thinking about what causes differences in metacognition in young players’ practice. There has been much research on improving metacognitive strategies in music practice. However, little research has been conducted on approaches targeting the causes of metacognitive discrepancies, and little research has been conducted to analyze the factors contributing to metacognitive disparities in young musicians. Studying the contributing causes of these differences could maximize the effectiveness of young musicians’ practice. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to study and analyze the causes of metacognitive differences among young musicians.
