Music analysis & performance: interactions within the undergraduate curriculum

Music analysis & performance: interactions within the undergraduate curriculum
Music analysis & performance: interactions within the undergraduate curriculum

There is a division between analysis and performance despite the fact that both analysts and performers acknowledge that 'interpretational elements' are vital to the study of music. The division appears to be caused by differences in the language used by both sides, and can be solved by changing the language used in teaching analysis and performance. This thesis demonstrates that musical analysis affects performance, and suggests ways in which its effects might be better directed. It takes a pedagogical standpoint to show that the success of teaching analysis to performance students depends on two variables: the choice of analytical method, and the learning and teaching preferences of students and teachers. In this way it presents an image of analysis as, in essence, a learner-centred activity.

Abstract

There is a division between analysis and performance despite the fact that both analysts and performers acknowledge that 'interpretational elements' are vital to the study of music. The division appears to be caused by differences in the language used by both sides, and can be solved by changing the language used in teaching analysis and performance. This thesis demonstrates that musical analysis affects performance, and suggests ways in which its effects might be better directed. It takes a pedagogical standpoint to show that the success of teaching analysis to performance students depends on two variables: the choice of analytical method, and the learning and teaching preferences of students and teachers. In this way it presents an image of analysis as, in essence, a learner-centred activity.
