Self-regulated practice is critical to musicians’ development, but it is unclear what components of practice contribute to performance quality. This study aimed to explore tertiary music students’ practice using performance evaluations as indicators of practice efficacy. Five tertiary piano students prepared a quick study task of two pieces for a mock performance, in 2 hours over 2 days. An expert panel evaluated the mock performances and performers were ranked accordingly. Practice session recordings and interview transcripts were analysed according to the three phases of Self-Regulated Learning (forethought, performance, self-reflection) and linked to the pianists’ final performance evaluations. Successful pianists planned their practice and set interpretative goals, while their less successful peers practiced reactively without planning. The highest-ranked pianist’s self-regulation was facilitated by non-play practice which involved taking long pauses and using strategies such as score study, mark score, and listen to own recording. The lowest-ranked pianist failed to identify problems or self-evaluate effectively. Future studies should explore the use and content of non-play practice strategies, especially self-recording, to empower music students to develop and self-regulate their practice. The quick study task provided an effective practice assessment tool and could be used to diagnose and track practice approaches.

自我调节的练习对音乐家的发展至关重要，但是尚不清楚练习的哪些成分会提高演奏质量。这项研究旨在利用绩效评估作为实践效能的指标，探索高等音乐专业学生的实践。五名高等钢琴专业学生准备了一个为期两天的快速学习任务，包括两首作品以进行模拟表演，历时2天，耗时2个小时。一个专家小组评估了模拟表演，并相应地对表演者进行了排名。根据自我调节学习的三个阶段（预见性，表现，自我反思）分析了练习课的录音和访谈笔录，并将其与钢琴演奏者的最终表现评估联系在一起。成功的钢琴家会计划他们的练习并设定解释性目标，而不太成功的钢琴家会在没有计划的情况下被动地进行练习。排名最高的钢琴家的自我调节受到非演奏练习的帮助，该练习需要长时间停顿并使用诸如得分研究，分数得分和聆听自己录音的策略。排名最低的钢琴家未能发现问题或无法有效地自我评估。未来的研究应探索非演奏练习策略（尤其是自我录制）的用途和内容，以使音乐学生有能力发展和自我调节自己的练习。快速学习任务提供了有效的实践评估工具，可用于诊断和跟踪实践方法。排名最低的钢琴家未能发现问题或无法有效地自我评估。未来的研究应探索非演奏练习策略（尤其是自我录制）的用途和内容，以使音乐学生有能力发展和自我调节自己的练习。快速学习任务提供了有效的实践评估工具，可用于诊断和跟踪实践方法。排名最低的钢琴家未能发现问题或无法有效地自我评估。未来的研究应探索非演奏练习策略（尤其是自我录制）的用途和内容，以使音乐学生有能力发展和自我调节自己的练习。快速学习任务提供了有效的实践评估工具，可用于诊断和跟踪实践方法。
