Music appreciation is a complex process that involves responses to surface-level structure, personal associations, and source sensitivity. Source sensitivity is an understanding of the context in which a musical artifact was created. This article joins a growing body of literature in which program notes are manipulated to highlight the importance of source sensitivity, shifting the focus onto cultural context. Two hundred eighty-four participants formed six groups in a 2×3 between-subjects design. Western and non-Western participants (ethnicity condition) listened to an original percussion composition accompanied by a short text providing a Western, Indian, or blended cultural context (cultural context condition). They then evaluated the music across a range of measures. Exploratory factor analysis revealed two factors of appreciation: Hedonic and Eudaimonic. Results revealed significant ethnicity–cultural context interactions for both. In the Indian context, Western participants exhibited high appreciation, whereas non-Western listeners exhibited low appreciation. Among non-Westerners, appreciation was highest in the blended context. Our results demonstrate an association between cultural source information and music appreciation. We propose that Western participants experience a proteophilic response to Indian music due to their secure status as members of a dominant social group. Non-Western participants, however, require a neutralizing Western context to similarly appreciate Indian music content.

Musical spaces have been observed to be highly engaging for autistic children, ameliorating barriers often experienced in communication and interaction. Music interventions with this group are widespread and have frequently noted the importance of integrating caregivers. Yet beyond music therapy, there is limited research on how to support music-making in daily life for autistic children and their families. In particular, there is a lack of long-term ecological evidence with this group for how music can support everyday functioning, care routines, and wellbeing. In this study, 25 families participated in a 12-month program which supported the integration of music into everyday life. Families were interviewed at the end of the project regarding the effectiveness of music as a support for daily routines, play, and wellbeing. Qualitative thematic analysis highlighted how families implemented musical strategies in widespread ways as a medium to support communication, create valued opportunities for shared interaction, and as a way to scaffold everyday caring routines. Families’ uses of musical play strategies, as observed in this study, emphasize the importance of incorporating caregivers and home environments as part of arts programs for autistic children, and the effectiveness of empowering parents to use music as a tool to navigate everyday life.

Music students often experience high levels of stress largely due to factors including coursework, performances, time management, professional development, and practicing. Stress that music students face is associated with depression and anxiety. Previous research shows that social support is linked to lower stress and internalizing symptoms. However, no studies to date have examined ensemble directors, lesson teachers, or music major peers as specific sources of support in the lives of music students. The current study examined whether social support from these sources moderated the link between music-specific stress and internalizing symptoms. Participants were 73 music students at a large public university in the United States. The results revealed a statistically significant association between music-specific stress and internalizing symptoms. Furthermore, social support from ensemble directors moderated the relationship between music-specific stress and depression. The findings suggest that (a) music-specific stress is linked to internalizing problems in students, (b) ensemble directors may act as a protective resource in reducing the severity of depression for music students undergoing elevated music-specific stress, and (c) more research is needed that examines the role ensemble directors, lesson teachers, and music major peers can play in supporting the mental health of music students.

Sight and sound are critical to the reception of music performance. Audiences respond to myriad nonverbal cues to appraise the performance, but little is known about Western classical performers’ approach to commanding attention and achieving performance mastery. This study aims to understand how expert performers conceptualize the audio and visual spectacle in the concert hall, and how they harness nonverbal communication and extramusical cues into performance. Nine expert pianists participated in semi-structured interviews about their approach to performance and their preparation for a hypothetical concert in an international venue. Their responses were coded, categorized, and eventually clustered into three themes. Experts were acutely aware of the audience’s gaze and viewed classical performances as theater. Sight was integral for expert performers who shared Liszt’s uncanny appreciation of showmanship. Experts choreographed performances for their audiences with dramatic stage entrance and elegant concert attire, and crafted performance through impressive memorization and amplified visual gestures. Future studies will explore how experts practice performance as theater and discover their strategies to prepare for the stage.

While researchers have consistently found that music can evoke discrete emotions in people cross-culturally, there is little consensus regarding the mechanisms underpinning this effect. The present study aimed to gain further insight into how music influences emotions, investigating whether the lyrics or the melody of a sad piece of non-classical music had a greater influence on mood. The researchers presented a sample of 251 participants with isolated melody, isolated lyrics, and the original version of a sad pop-ballad in turn, measuring the influence of each on mood using the Brief Mood Introspection Scale (BMIS). A one-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed that all versions of the song significantly reduced mood scores from baseline, with the isolated lyrics and original version of the song reducing mood to a greater magnitude than the melody. The results suggested that both the lyrics and melody of the music influenced mood, though the lyrics appeared to do so to a greater extent. Furthermore, a thematic analysis of open-response questions provided preliminary evidence that the semantic content of lyrics was more influential on mood than the vocal expression of lyrics. Future research should aim to replicate these findings, using both positively and negatively emotionally valenced musical stimuli.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted loneliness as a major risk factor for mental health difficulties among parents. Shared musical experiences may be an effective way to create social bonds. We adapted Carnegie Hall’s Lullaby Project to a remote format. Parents experiencing loneliness were enrolled in the study ( N = 40) and completed assessments at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 1-month follow-up. Participation was associated with significant improvement in self-reported loneliness, self-reported sense of belonging, implicit sense of belonging, self-reported depression, and self-reported anxiety. However, the difference between implicit belonging and rejection did not significantly change over time, and there was no evidence for change in self-reported parent–child connection. In contrast to the quantitative findings, the qualitative responses suggested that participants experienced an enhancement in parent–child connection following intervention completion. The findings highlight the potential for remote administration of music programs to address isolation and loneliness.

This study aimed to test whether the adaptive functions of music listening would mediate the relation between music engagement and subjective dream intensity and whether this mediation relation would be moderated by the regularity of music listening and level of music training. A total of 236 undergraduate students were invited to complete the Music Engagement Questionnaire, Music Use Questionnaire (MUSE), Adaptive Functions of Music Listening Scale (AFML), and Dream Intensity Scale. The analyses using the PROCESS Marco Models 4 and 75 demonstrated a significant mediation effect of the AFML and significant moderation effects of the MUSE Music Listening and Music Training Indices. This provides the first empirical evidence for the indirect effect of active music engagement on dream intensity via adaptive music listening. In addition, the overall evidence highlights the implication for the significance of music behavior in maintaining mental healthiness. Because an individual’s emotional concerns and difficulty in emotion regulation during waking as reflected by the subconscious process of dreaming are modulated by music behavior and adaptive music listening, directed music engagement for adaptive purposes could form a potential tool for psychological intervention, irrespective of the effect of the regularity of music listening and the background of music training.

Most previous audio-visual crossmodal correspondence studies focused on static visual or auditory stimuli. Moreover, some researchers have found that music training can effectively improve the interaction between auditory and visual channels by enhancing neural plasticity. This study focused on whether crossmodal correspondence occurs when people face dynamic visual and auditory stimuli, and whether it is affected by musical training. Participants were asked to judge different changes in pitch (rise and drop) by showing them different patterns of visual circle motion (enlarged, reduced, and unchanged). The results revealed that the audio-visual congruent combinations (the pitch rise when the circle was enlarged and the pitch drop when the circle was reduced) significantly shortened participants’ response times, whereas the audio-visual neutral combinations (the unchanged shape) had the highest accuracy. Participants with musical training were faster than participants without musical training to judge pitch changes in conditions where the association between pitch and shape size was incongruent. These findings provide empirical evidence for dynamic audio-visual crossmodal correspondence and shed light on the bright prospect of using congruent audio-visual stimuli in animation.

The characteristics of musically or culturally defined virtuosos in diverse music traditions deserve investigation with regard to their connection to music. This study was designed to identify virtuosos within the domain of Korean music (KM) through the lens of current professional performers in KM ( N = 315). Pursuing this aim, we created 45 components structured into the dimensions involving KM virtuosos’ musicianship, music performance, and other behavioral features based on musicological and empirical studies of KM. Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), we generated a single factorial structure of 11 factors: social recognition of virtuoso, informed knowledge of KM, musicality for contemporary KM, individuality, musical communication, musicality for KM, performance proficiency for KM, musical mastery, established virtuosity in KM, collaborative music performance, and KM creation. The findings suggest that the meaningfully related variables in the factors represent sophisticated concepts of KM virtuosos at present, surpassing the historically defined meaning of virtuosos. The essence of KM, along with its accompanying social systems and phenomena for recognizing KM virtuosos, may hold the key to comprehending the attributes of virtuosos. The results are expected to enhance the discourse on the presence of virtuosos identified within a specific cultural domain.
