The performer's experience:A case for using qualitative(phenomenological)methodologies in music performance research.
Abstract:-
The experience of the performer is fundamental to the creation of any music performance,but has yet received relatively little attention from researchers. Empirical investigation has been undertaken across a range of disciplines(mainly psychology,physiology and psychoacoustics), but hitherto using predominantly quantitative methods. This theoretical article seeks to build on more recent trends towards qualitative research,with the aim of revealing hitherto unexplored aspects of performance,specifically through the subjective world of a performer. To this end,the authors draw on advances in qualitative theory across a range of disciplines,including philosophical reasoning,social science and music education.
