The Problem-Solving Behavior of Two Nine-Year-Old Children While Practicing the Piano: A Naturalistic Study

301 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2001.The conclusions of this study are that the subjects involved in this study did not know how to practice effectively and, although they seemed to have the ability to use thinking skills did not use those skills consistently. A strong link was found between the personality of each subject and how they practiced and solved problems. Personality also seemed to determine the type of repertoire that they enjoyed playing.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
