The Oxford Handbook of Music Performance Volume 2
chapters in this handbook are leaders in the fields of music psychology, performance science, musicology, psychology, education and music education. Chapters in the Handbook provide a broad coverage of the area with considerable expansion of the topics that are normally covered in a resource of
this type. Designed around eight distinct sections - Development and Learning, Proficiencies, Performance Practices, Psychology, Enhancements, Health & Wellbeing, Science, and Innovations - the range and scope of The Oxford Handbook of Music Performance is much wider than other publications through
the inclusion of chapters from related disciplines such as performance science (e.g., optimizing performance, mental techniques, talent development in non-music areas), and education (e.g., human development, motivation, learning and teaching styles) as well as the attention given to emerging
critical issues in the field (e.g., wellbeing, technology, gender, diversity, inclusion, identity, resilience and buoyancy, diseases, and physical and mental disabilities). Within each chapter, authors have selected what they consider to be the most important scientific and artistic material
relevant to their topic. They begin their chapters by surveying theoretical views on each topic and then, in the final part of the chapter, highlight practical implications of the literature that performers will be able to apply within their daily musical lives.

Gary E. McPherson is the Ormond Professor of Music at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, the University of Melbourne, Australia. His research interests are broad and his approach interdisciplinary. His most important research examines the acquisition and development of musical competence, and
motivation to engage and participate in music from novice to expert levels. With a particular interest in the acquisition of visual, aural and creative performance skills, he has attempted to understand more precisely how music students become sufficiently motivated and self-regulated to achieve at
the highest level. Gary has published over 250 articles and book chapters and co-authored, co-edited or edited 14 books for OUP, including The Child as Musician, Musical Prodigies: Interpretations from Psychology, Education, Musicology and Ethnomusicology, and The Oxford Handbook of Music Education.
