Raising awareness of performance practice
Explanation:
It means that a musician has to be historically informed which style is appropriate.

"Performance practice" is a fixed term for both "Auffuehrungspraxis" and "auffuehrungspraktisch", while "practical perfomance" can as well be used for "practical tests" (e.g. in exams at Music Universities etc.), so I wouldn't recommend it here.

... not only for practical tests, but performance in general, meaning as well psychological and other aspects (e.g. stagefright). I'm not sure if this is really meant here.

practical performance aspects


Explanation:
The whole title: Developing awareness of practical performance aspects.

I don't believe there is a direct equivalent for this compound - paraphrasing the whole title seems best.
