Handbook of Musical Identities

Autor: Raymond Macdonald , David J. Hargreaves , Dorothy Miell

Número de Páginas: 897

Music is a tremendously powerful channel through which people develop their personal and social identities. Music is used to communicate emotions, thoughts, political statements, social relationships, and physical expressions. But, just as language can mediate the construction and negotiation of developing identities, so music can also be a means of communication through which aspects of people's identities are constructed. Music can have a profound influence on our developing sense of identity, our values, and our beliefs, be it from rock music, classical music, or jazz. Musical identities (MacDonald, Hargreaves and Miell, 2002) was unique in being in being one of the first books to explore this fascinating topic. This new book documents the remarkable expansion and growth in the study of musical identities since the publication of the earlier work. The editors identify three main features of current psychological approaches to musical identities, which concern their definition, development, and the identification of individual differences, as well as four main real-life contexts in which musical identities have been investigated, namely in music and musical institutions;...

Musique et évolution

Autor: Irène Deliège , Olivia Ladinig , Oliver Vitouch

Número de Páginas: 828

Les perspectives évolutionnistes de la musique. Le temps est loin où l'homme pensait que les étoiles du ciel avaient été créées pour le guider sur la terre. Et, pourtant, la querelle entre les tenants du créationisme et la science biologique de Darwin, fondée sur l'évolution des espèces, resurgit parfois encore entre ceux qui ne parviennent pas à discerner entre mythe et démarche scientifique. Cent cinquante ans après la publication de L'Origine des espèces (1859), les biologistes d'aujourd'hui s'inscrivent dans le sillage de Darwin, sans pour autant se réclamer de lui sur un mode dogmatique. Des questions importantes demeurent, en effet, ouvertes. Ainsi, jusqu'où la théorie de la sélection naturelle peut-elle être étendue au-delà de l'étude de l'évolution des formes vivantes ? Peut-elle concerner l'art ? Une société comme l'ESCOM (la Société européenne des sciences cognitives de la musique) ne pouvait rester indifférente au problème touchant spécialement la musique, un point dont Darwin lui-même s'était préoccupé, en 1871, dans son ouvrage La Descendance de l 'homme et la sélection sexuelle. Aborder aujourd'hui le problème de la musique dans...

Música y desarrollo psicológico

Autor: David J. Hargreaves

Número de Páginas: 290

Se exponen las bases psicológicas del desarrollo musical en niños y adultos. El estudio tiene dos objetivos principales: por un lado, revisar los resultados de la investigación realizada de aquellas teorías y metodologías relevantes para el estudio evolutivo de la música y, por otro lado, ofrecer un marco en el que organizar y facilitar el camino a futuras investigaciones. El autor describe cómo los psicólogos han estudiado y debate la relación entre pensamiento y música y debate la relación entre pensamiento y música en niños y niñas en edad escolar en áreas como el canto, la apreciación estética, el desarrollo rítmico y melódico y el aprendizaje de la armonía y de la tonalidad. El libro analiza la formación del gusto musical y trata cuestiones como la creatividad musical y la pedagogía social del gusto y de la moda musicales.

Music Learning and Teaching in Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence

Autor: Gary Mcpherson , Graham Welch

Número de Páginas: 369

Music Learning and Teaching in Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence is one of five paperback books derived from the foundational two-volume Oxford Handbook of Music Education. Designed for music teachers, students, and scholars of music education, as well as educational administrators and policy makers, the second book in this set explores a broad array of key issues, concepts, and debates related to music learning and teaching in three phases of a child's development. The first section provides an expanded view of infancy and early childhood, embracing a key theme that most young children's early music-making is improvised and used to communicate with others and the self. These chapters demonstrate the importance of "motherese" or "parentese" to young children's overall development, the extraordinary diversity and richness of children's early musical engagement, and how this can be viewed as a resource for further learning. The second section is devoted to the learning and teaching of music during the middle years of childhood, when music is often a mandated part of the school curriculum. While recognizing the enormous cultural and national differences, chapters in this section...

The Oxford Handbook of Music Education, Volume 1

Autor: Gary E. Mcpherson , Graham F. Welch

Número de Páginas: 983

Music education takes place in many contexts, both formal and informal. Be it in a school or music studio, while making music with friends or family, or even while travelling in a car, walking through a shopping mall or watching television, our myriad sonic experiences accumulate from the earliest months of life to foster our facility for making sense of the sound worlds in which we live. The Oxford Handbook of Music Education offers a comprehensive overview of the many facets of musical experience, behavior and development in relation to this diverse variety of contexts. In this first of two volumes, an international list of contributors discuss a range of key issues and concepts associated with music learning and teaching. The volume then focuses on these processes as they take place during childhood, from infancy through adolescence and primarily in the school-age years. Exploring how children across the globe learn and make music and the skills and attributes gained when they do so, these chapters examine the means through which music educators can best meet young people's musical needs. The second volume of the set brings the exploration beyond the classroom and into later...

Musical Creativity

Autor: Irène Deliège , Geraint A. Wiggins

Número de Páginas: 444

This collection initiates a resolutely interdisciplinary research dynamic specifically concerning musical creativity. Creativity is one of the most challenging issues currently facing scientific psychology and its study has been relatively rare in the cognitive sciences, especially in artificial intelligence. This book will address the need for a coherent and thorough exploration. Musical Creativity: Multidisciplinary Research in Theory and Practice comprises seven sections, each viewing musical creativity from a different scientific vantage point, from the philosophy of computer modelling, through music education, interpretation, neuroscience, and music therapy, to experimental psychology. Each section contains discussions by eminent international specialists of the issues raised, and the book concludes with a postlude discussing how we can understand creativity in the work of eminent composer, Jonathan Harvey. This unique volume presents an up-to-date snapshot of the scientific study of musical creativity, in conjunction with ESCOM (the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music). Describing many of the different aspects of musical creativity and their study, it will...

The Music between Us

Autor: Kathleen Marie Higgins

Número de Páginas: 291

"Higgins' love of music and cultural variety is evident throughout. She writes in a relaxed, accessible, sophisticated style...Highly recommended."— Choice From our first social bonding as infants to the funeral rites that mark our passing, music plays an important role in our lives, bringing us closer to one another. In this book, philosopher Kathleen Marie Higgins investigates this role, examining the features of human perception that enable music's uncanny ability to provoke—despite its myriad forms across continents and throughout centuries—the sense of a shared human experience. Drawing on disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, musicology, linguistics, and anthropology, Higgins's richly researched study showcases the ways music is used in rituals, education, work, and healing, and as a source of security and—perhaps most importantly—joy. By participating so integrally in such meaningful facets of society, Higgins argues, music situates itself as one of the most fundamental bridges between people, a truly cross-cultural form of communication that can create solidarity across political divides. Moving beyond the well-worn takes on music's universality, The Music...

Infant Musicality

Autor: Johannella Tafuri

Número de Páginas: 344

What can infants hear? What are their reactions to music? Is it useful for them to sing and listen to music? Is their auditory sensitivity developed before their birth? At what age do they start singing, and clapping their hands? How can their musical development be improved? These (and other) questions are present in today's debate on music education and the responses are normally given in an intuitive way. It is now necessary and urgent to sketch a developmental profile of infants, starting from their earliest manifestations. In the last 30 years, research in this field has been progressively developed. In most cases research has been devoted to single aspects of more complex problems. Moreover, it has been based on non-homogeneous categories of subjects and by different methods. Motivated by the fact that many open problems need to be solved, Professor Tafuri decided, in 1998, to begin a longitudinal research project devoted to studying the musical development in children from 0 to 6 years, with particular attention on the ability to sing in tune. During these 6 years, the children would have a regular music education experience with their mothers and often other members of the ...

Gender and Sexuality in South African Music

Autor: Chris Walton , Stephanus Muller

Número de Páginas: 103

During the past two decades, the study of sexuality and gender in music has become a decidedly mainstream activity. To be sure, music has long been obviously and intimately involved in matters pertaining to relations, both sexual and otherwise, between and amongst the sexes. Its use in courtship is the one that perhaps first comes to mind, this use being probably as old as music itself. This book contains all the papers presented at the conference by the same name.

Homo musicalis

Autor: Luis Antonio Muñoz

Número de Páginas: 968

«Este libro habla de historia, de creatividad, de biología y neurología, de lo divino y de lo humano. Luis Antonio Muñoz no solo lo sabe todo (pero absolutamente todo) sobre la música, sino que además es capaz de contárnoslo de una forma cautivadora, emocionante y bella». Rosa Montero Homo Musicalis es un interesantísimo estudio divulgativo sobre la relación de la música con todo aquello que nos hace humanos. Tomando como punto de partida el funcionamiento del cerebro, el autor de Historia oculta de la música analiza la importancia de la música en el desarrollo de nuestra inteligencia, centrándose en aspectos diversos de la humanidad como la religión, la naturaleza, el cosmos, el humor, la política, la violencia, la enfermedad, la política o la guerra. Temas y curiosidades que evidencian por qué la música se convirtió en algún momento de la evolución en un proceso crucial para nuestro desarrollo como especie. Un libro que, como afirma Espido Freire en el prólogo, «te devolverá el tiempo que le regales multiplicado en hondura y en placer». Y un libro, además, que se puede escuchar, porque en cada capítulo se remite a piezas relacionadas que encontrarás...

Psychoacoustic Foundations of Major-Minor Tonality

Autor: Richard Parncutt

Número de Páginas: 473

A fascinating interdisciplinary approach to how everyday Western music works, and why the tones, melodies, and chords combine as they do. Despite the cultural diversity of our globalized world, most Western music is still structured around major and minor scales and chords. Countless thinkers and scientists of the past have struggled to explain the nature and origin of musical structures. In Psychoacoustic Foundations of Major-Minor Tonality, music psychologist Richard Parncutt offers a fresh take, combining music theory—Rameau’s fundamental bass, Riemann’s harmonic function, Schenker’s hierarchic analysis, Forte’s pitch-class set theory—with psychology—Bregman’s auditory scene, Terhardt’s virtual pitch, Krumhansl’s tonal hierarchy. Drawing on statistical analyses of notated music corpora, Parncutt charts a middle path between cultural relativism and scientific positivism to bring music theory into meaningful discourse with empirical research. Our musical subjectivity, Parncutt explains, depends on our past musical experience and hence on music history and its social contexts. It also depends on physical sound properties, as investigated in psychoacoustics with ...

Ascolta. La musica, il suono e noi

Autor: Michel Faber

Número de Páginas: 476

La parola “ascolta” può esprimere sia un’azione, l’ascolto di un disco, di una voce o di una melodia, sia manifestare un invito sentito a farlo. Michel Faber in questo libro, un atto d’amore verso la musica tutta, si muove tra queste due vie, comprendendole entrambe. Molti autori hanno raccolto le storie dei musicisti, dei gruppi leggendari, delle epoche o dei diversi generi, ma raramente uno scrittore ha raccontato ciò che accade dentro di noi quando ascoltiamo la musica. Cosa ci succede mentre ascoltiamo una canzone? Perché siamo portati a farlo, e ne traiamo piacere? Cercando la risposta a queste e ad altre domande – e analizzando tutti i fattori che possono influenzarle, dall’età dell’ascoltatore alle mode più in voga, oltre la dicotomia tra buona e cattiva musica – Michel Faber ci consegna un libro unico, frutto di decenni di lavoro, intrecciando musica, filosofia e poesia, alla ricerca della materia sentimentale di cui sono fatti i suoni. “Questo è un libro sulla musica, e sulle persone che la ascoltano: i tuoi amici, i tuoi vicini di casa, tu e io. Leggere questo libro cambierà il tuo modo di ascoltare.”
