Abstract
In performance education, verbal as well as nonverbal information is used to convey knowledge. In the COVID-19 social situation, the demand for remote and asynchronous lessons is increasing, and it is unclear what kind of verbal information should be used. In this study, we collected 239 Japanese review texts from 12 teachers for a total of 90 orchestral studies performed by oboe players. We categorized the sentences of the critiques, and found that the content of the critiques varied more by teacher than by piece or student. We also found that the category of giving practice strategy played a significant role in the content of instruction that students found useful.
