Samspel i ensemble
En musikpedagogisk studie om gymnasieungdomars interagerande i ensembleundervisning
The purpose of the study is to observe how the participants of the study interacted musically through verbal, non-verbal and musically resonant expressions. Verbal communication was expressed in discussion of the music's tempo and to clarify for ensemble participants from where they we?re going to play and sing. Non-verbal communication could be used to gesticulate an instrument or a melody. For example, the movement of a hand could symbolize notes on a musical stave to indicate the notes placements. The non-verbal communication could also be seen through facial expressions such as smiling, or grimacing to show different emotions. Musically sounding interaction could be expressed as when ensemble members played music together in a single pulse, and could initiate a common activity. Even though we often mention the different expressivity types as if they occurred on different occasions and with no connection whatsoever, they often overlapped.
