The effects of an environmental constraints program on the flute fingering learning in secondary school: An approach from motor learning

Abstract

Functional patterns were observed as a result of the acquisition of bimanual finger movements through playing the recorder under auditory and visual informational constraints. These patterns may improve important variables related to synchronization, accuracy and loss of rhythm among others. 147 students of third grade of secondary school participated in 5 variations of a flute learning program during 12 practice sessions. The results show a resistance to deterioration in the retention test in important instrumental variables compared to other groups, such as the note error in the group in which total restrictions were applied. The partial restrictions (EG3) also obtained a positive significance level compared to the other groups in synchronization as well.
