O Tai Chi Chuan na percussão

Abstract

A good motricity and a strong psyche that allow for excellence in performance are essential in musical execution. Since Tai Chi Chuan is an activity that implies a considerable psychomotor and psychological development, it is the aim of this thesis to assess whether the practice of Tai Chi Chuan can be an optimising factor in a percussionist’s performance. Based on the outstanding physical and psychological effects that result from the practice of Tai Chi Chuan and the centuries-old understanding that its practitioners have of matters such as health, physical self-knowledge, breathing and anxiety control, concentration and psychomotor development, an attempt is made to ascertain whether the application of the same principles to percussion execution allows us to establish parallels between both activities. Taking his experience as a percussionist as a starting point, the author of this research undertakes a heuristic study which aims to assess whether the practice of Tai Chi Chuan can contribute in some way towards a better performance. This heuristic study is based not just on the author’s professional practice as a percussionist but also his teaching experience. Therefore, and complementing the heuristic study, this thesis also outlines the author’s experience both as lecturer in percussion and Tai Chi Chuan teacher of ten of his percussion students for the duration of an academic year. This research led to the conclusion that the practice of Tai Chi Chuan appears to enhance the students’ performance and optimise the development of their capabilities and skills in the teaching / learning of percussion, mainly in the following areas: breathing control and psychomotor control.

Uma motricidade e uma psique de qualidade que permitam um desempenho de excelência são essenciais para a execução musical. Uma vez que o Tai Chi Chuan é uma atividade que implica um grande desenvolvimento do controlo psicomotor e psíquico, esta tese pretende aferir se a prática do Tai Chi Chuan pode ser um fator optimizador da performance de um percussionista. Tendo por base o estado da arte referente aos efeitos físicos e psíquicos resultantes da prática do Tai Chi Chuan, assim como do conhecimento secular que os seus praticantes possuem de matérias tais como a saúde, o autoconhecimento físico, o controlo da respiração e da ansiedade, a concentração e o desenvolvimento psicomotor procura-se compreender se a aplicação dos mesmos princípios à execução da percussão permite estabelecer paralelos entre ambas as atividades. Partindo da sua experiência como percussionista, o autor desta investigação efetua um estudo heurístico em que se pretende averiguar se a prática do Tai Chi Chuan poderá contribuir de alguma forma para uma melhor performance. Este estudo heurístico reporta-se não só à prática profissional do autor como também à sua experiência pedagógica. A experiência como professor de percussão e simultaneamente professor de Tai Chi Chuan de dez dos seus alunos de percussão ao longo de um ano letivo é também relatada, complementando e enriquecendo este estudo heurístico. Desta investigação conclui-se que a prática do Tai Chi Chuan parece potenciar a performance e otimizar o desenvolvimento das capacidades e destrezas dos alunos no ensino/aprendizagem da percussão, sobretudo nos seguintes aspetos, controlo da respiração e controlo psicomotor..
