Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of unexpressive, expressive, and overly-expressive conducting on college musicians’ ratings of ensemble expressivity. Participants ( N = 133) from the United States viewed three video recordings of three conductors whose unexpressive, expressive, or overly-expressive conducting performances had been synchronized with the same corresponding, high-quality audio recordings. After viewing each of the three excerpts in one of three counterbalanced orders, participants rated the expressivity of the ensemble’s performance. We found a significant effect for conductor expressivity, but there was also a significant conductor expressivity × order interaction. Although participants’ ratings were influenced by conductor expressivity, they were not independent of viewing order. Implications for conductors and recommendations for future research are discussed.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Music Education (IJME) is a peer-reviewed journal published by the International Society for Music Education (ISME) four times a year. Manuscripts published are scholarly works, representing empirical research in a variety of modalities. They enhance knowledge regarding the teaching and learning of music with a special interest toward an international constituency. Manuscripts report results of quantitative or qualitative research studies, summarize bodies or research, present theories, models, or philosophical positions, etc. Papers show relevance to advancing the practice of music teaching and learning at all age levels with issues of direct concern to the classroom or studio, in school and out, private and group instruction. All manuscripts should contain evidence of a scholarly approach and be situated within the current literature. Implications for learning and teaching of music should be clearly stated, relevant, contemporary, and of interest to an international readership.
