The Oxford Handbook of Music Performance, Volume 2

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.
