Abstract

The present study aimed at investigating the effect of stimulus deprivation (aural, visual and kinesthetic) in the sensorial feedback during the initial approach to piano pieces by students belonging to different academic levels. The results revealed the potential effect of the academic level on the time spent in practice for conditions A, C and D, as well as in the musical understanding and in the quality of attained performance takes (products), for conditions A and B. In terms of strategies and performances, data from conditions C and D suggested the performance under such conditions seem to depend on the cumulative competences of the student rather on the academic level.
