Research Interests

Dr Jane Ginsborg read music at the University of York, and trained as a singer at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Following a successful freelance career as a professional singer and singing teacher, she studied psychology with the Open University, gaining a BA degree with first class honours, and completed her ESRC-funded PhD in 1999 at Keele University. Jane is a Chartered Psychologist and member of the British Psychological Society. She carried out post-doctoral research at the University of Sheffield and has lectured in psychology at the University of Manchester, at Leeds Metropolitan University, and for the Open University. She has published widely on expert musicians' approaches to practising and memorizing, and won the British Voice Association's Van Lawrence Award in 2002 for her research on singers' memorizing strategies. Current research interests include expert musicians' preparation for performance, collaborative music making, the dual role of the performer-researcher and strategies for teaching music psychology in different contexts.
