Establishing an empirical profile of self-defined “tone deafness”
Research has suggested that around 17% of Western adults self-define as “tone deaf” (Cuddy, Balkwill, Peretz & Holden, 2005). But questions remain about the exact nature of tone deafness. One candidate for a formal definition is “congenital amusia” (Peretz et al., 2003), characterised by a dense music-specific perceptual deficit. However, most people self-defining as tone deaf are not congenially amusic (Cuddy et al., 2005). According to Sloboda,…
Psychology for Musicians
'Psychology for Musicians' is designed to address the needs and priorities of the performing musician rather than the research community. The text reviews the relevant psychological research findings in relation to situations and issues faced by musicians.
Exploring the musical mind
Music and emotion
Innate talents
Talents that selectively facilitate the acquisition of high levels of skill are said to be present in some children but not others. The evidence for this includes biological correlates of specific abilities, certain rare abilities in autistic savants, and the seemingly spontaneous emergence of exceptional abilities in young children, but there is also contrary evidence indicating an absence of early precursors of high skill levels. An analysis of…
Characteristics of Music Teachers and the Progress of Young Instrumentalists
This study is an investigation of the role of some key characteristics of teachers in the development of students' musical ability. Interviewing 257 children who differed in the extent of their instrumental mastery, we discovered that the most successful learners regarded their teachers differently from those children who ceased music study. The more successful learners rated their first teacher higher than did other learners on personal dimensio…
The role of practice in the development of performing musicians
A sample of 257 young people aged between eight and 18 who had undertaken individual instrumental tuition were interviewed in depth about their performing history from the start of playing. A subset of 94 of these individuals also kept a practice diary for a 42-week period. The data collected allowed estimates to be calculated of the amount of time devoted to various types of practice and other activities. The sample was selected in order to enco…
Transitions in the Early Musical Careers of Able Young Musicians
Forty-two students at a specialist school for able musicians and 20 of their parents were interviewed about the circumstances that led to these young people's commencing instrumental study, changing teachers, and taking up new instruments prior to the point where they were recognized as ready for specialist music education. The results showed that parents' sustained support and intervention were vital to developing excellence, and that the studen…
Music Structure and Emotional Response
Eighty-three music listeners completed a questionnaire in which thev provided information about the occurrence of a range of physical reactions while listening to music. Shivers down the spine, laughter, tears and lump in the throat were reported by over 80(% of respondents. Respondents were asked to locate specific musical passages that reliably evoked such responses. Structural analysis of these passages showed that tears were most reliablN evo…

The Musical Mind
The Acquisition of Symbolic Skills
This book is a selection of papers from a conference which took place at the University of Keele in July 1982. The conference was an extraordinarily enjoyable one, and we would like to take this opportunity of thanking all participants for helping to make it so. The conference was intended to allow scholars working on different aspects of symbolic behaviour to compare findings, to look for common ground, and to identify differences between the va…
Phrase units as determinants of visual processing in music reading
Keyboard musicians sight-read passages of music in which the amount of information about the presence of phrase units was systematically varied. A distinction was made between 'physical' unit markers, which allowed delineation of a unit prior to analysis of its component elements, and 'structural' unit markers, which defined a unit in terms of the sequential rules obeyed by its constituent elements. During the execution of the passages the text w…
