Collective and individual practices are essential for popular music bands and their members when preparing for public performances. This study addresses the interplay of collective and individual practices in a sample of 82 members of semi-professional and professional popular music bands in Austria and Germany. Utilizing a structured questionnaire, practices were assessed within collective and individual practice contexts, and attributes and experiences pertinent to the current band and individual members were examined in terms of their reciprocal interplay, differences between semi-professionals and professionals, and relationships with the experience variables of groups and individuals. The results showed that collective and individual deliberate practices and the use of practice strategies were related in both practice contexts. Members of professional popular music bands invested significantly less time in collective practice for fun and significantly more time in individual deliberate practice. The results provide deeper insights into the interplay of collective and individual practices in music bands, the differences between semi-professional and professional practice designs, and the relevance of practice and professional experience for accomplishing professional music performance in general.

流行音乐中的集体和个人实践：奥地利和德国的半专业和专业之间的差异


在准备公开表演时，集体和个人练习对于流行乐队及其成员来说是必不可少的。本研究在奥地利和德国的 82 名半专业和专业流行乐队的样本中探讨了集体和个人实践的相互作用。利用结构化问卷，在集体和个人实践环境中评估实践，并根据当前乐队和个人成员的相互相互作用、半专业人士和专业人士之间的差异以及与团体和个人的经验变量的关系来检查与当前乐队和个人相关的属性和经验经验。结果表明，在两种实践环境中，集体和个人的刻意实践以及实践策略的使用是相关的。专业流行乐队的成员在集体练习中投入的时间明显较少，而在个人刻意练习上投入的时间明显更多。结果提供了对乐队中集体和个人实践相互作用、半专业和专业实践设计之间的差异以及实践和专业经验与完成一般专业音乐表演的相关性的更深入见解。
