At a time of unprecedented interest in improvisation across the
arts, The Art of Becoming boldly asserts that everyone can and
should improvise. Drawing on emerging psychological literature as
well as their own research with musicians, authors Raymond
MacDonald and Graeme Wilson - both music psychologists and renowned
performers in their own right - propose new ideas on what defines
improvisation in music. MacDonald and Wilson explore the cognitive
processes involved, the role of specialist skills or knowledge in
improvised interaction, and the nature of understanding between
improvisers. Their investigation lays out how we develop as
improvisers, alongside health benefits derived from music
participation. The Art of Becoming is a vital resource for courses
on improvisation in contemporary practice, and for those applying
musical improvisation in community and therapeutic contexts,
setting out a framework based on psychological findings for
understanding improvisation as a universal capability and an
essentially social behavior. With suggestions for approaching this
practice in new ways at any level, it demonstrates how
improvisation transcends musical genres and facilitates
collaboration between practitioners from disciplines across the
artistic spectrum. Putting forward important implications for
contemporary artistic practices, pedagogy, music therapy and the
psychology of social behavior, The Art of Becoming provides fresh
and provocative insights for anyone interested in playing,
studying, teaching, or listening to improvised music.
