What is it that drives people to undertake music research? Such
interest frequently grows from on-the-ground experiences as
learners, performers, facilitators, composers, arts administrators,
and educators. It can emerge, for example, from music teachers
trying out new teaching methods, performers wishing to know more
about how to improvise effectively, educators pursuing the most
effective ways to structure music curricula, musicians aiming to
explain why their music enhances wellbeing among different groups
of people, and orchestral managers seeking to promote and protect
the health of their players. At the heart of all of these enquiries
lies a question of some sort, and it is these research questions
that determine the direction of the research to be undertaken.
Performing Music Research is a comprehensive guide to planning,
conducting, analyzing, and communicating research in music
performance. The book examines the approaches and strategies that
underpin research in music education, psychology, and performance
science. It reviews the knowledge and skills needed to critique
existing studies in these fields and to design and carry out new
investigations. Perspectives on qualitative, quantitative, and
multistrategy methodologies are highlighted across the book in ways
that help aspiring researchers bring precision to their research
questions, select methods that are appropriate for addressing their
questions, and apply those methods systematically and rigorously.
Each chapter contains a study guide, comprising a chapter summary,
a list of keywords, and suggestions for further discussion, and the
book concludes with a resources section, including a glossary and
supplementary material to support advanced statistical analysis.
The book''s companion website provides information designed to
facilitate access to original research and to test knowledge and
understanding.
