Reflections on Puccini's "La Boheme": Investigating a Model for Listening
Madsen, Clifford K.; Geringer, John M.
Journal of Research in Music Education, v56 n1 p33-42 2008
A continuing line of research indicates that focus of attention is perhaps the most important attribute of actively participating in meaningful music listening and a model accounting for these findings has been developed. Music teachers are especially concerned with meaningful listening when having students discern important elements or attributes of music. Although newer listening devices offer sophisticated methods for continuous measurement, the educator usually does not have access to the advanced equipment used by researchers. This study is built on a previous investigation by examining the use of a paper-and-pencil drawing for recording aesthetic responses across time. The authors also asked the 50 university music major participants to reflect and write comments concerning their listening experiences. Findings indicate that a teacher using only a simple paper-and-pencil representation might be able to elicit and document an "overall emotional effect" that provides almost as much information as using more sophisticated measuring devices.
