In sport psychology and motor skills acquisition, mental imagery has become integral to learning an organized skill. Richardson (1967) provided the standard definition of mental practice as "the symbolic rehearsal of a physical activity in the absence of any gross muscular movements" (p. 915). Although there is a vast amount of research concerning the effectiveness of mental practice and use by athletes in sports psychology, there remains a dearth of research pertaining to mental practice use and musicians. In this study, the relative effectiveness of mental practice and physical practice on improving drum performance was examined. The subjects were 30 drummers who were either percussion majors or hobbyist drummers from a variety of Universities located in New York City and Long Island. Subjects were required to read drum music in order to participate. Subjects completed the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ) and were assigned from matched groups to one of three conditions: (1) all physical practice, (2) all mental practice and (3) mental practice with physical practice. Subjects were matched based on their baseline performance of a short original piece which served as both the pre treatment and post treatment measure of drum performance. All subjects practiced the original piece for 30 minutes. Subjects in the physical practice condition were instructed only to physically practice the musical piece. Subjects in the mental practice condition were given a script containing kinesthetic internal visual imagery instructing them to imagine themselves physically practicing the drum piece without physical movement. Subjects in the combined mental and physical condition first engaged in mental practice for 15 minutes and were given the same script containing kinesthetic internal visual imagery. At the end of the 15 minutes, subjects were instructed to physically practice the drum piece for the duration of the practice session without using the script. It was predicted that the greatest improvement in scores from pre to post test would be in the combined mental and physical practice group, followed by the physical practice group and then the mental practice group. It was expected that those subjects in the treatment conditions (mental practice only and combined mental and physical practice) that score high on the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire, would have the greatest improvement in scores from pre to posttest. A 3 (mental practice, physical practice, mental and physical practice) x 3 (baseline, first post-test, second post-test) repeated measures ANOVA using number of beats played correctly and number of measures played correctly, revealed that improvement over time was statistically significant across conditions. However, the interaction between time and condition was not statistically significant. There was a significant effect of practice on performance for the difference scores between the number of beats played correctly at baseline and the number of beats played correctly during the first post-test. Post hoc comparisons using the Tukey HSD test indicated that the subjects in the physical practice condition performed better than the subjects in the mental practice condition and the subjects in the mental and physical practice combined condition in regards to the difference scores between baseline and the first posttest for the number of beats played correctly. There was also a significant correlation between the VMIQ self score and the difference score in the mental practice condition between the first post-test and the second post-test for number of beats played correctly. There was a significant correlation between the VMIQ total score and the difference score in the mental practice condition between the first post-test and the second post-test for number of beats played correctly. There was also a significant correlation between the VMIQ other score and the difference score in the physical practice condition between the first post-test and the second post-test for number of measures played correctly. These correlations indicate that the better the individual was able to visualize, the more effective the imagery training was and thus, the higher the performance score.
