“…Similarly, Waddington (2017) points to moments where ensemble musicians speak of "achieving a collective state of mind" (p. 230), asking how this state of mind-which she also relates to empathy-might help understand group dynamics in small ensembles and its potential role in facilitating co-performer interaction. Kaastra (2020) describes musical activity as a "highly dynamic and collaborative process invoking tacit knowledge and coordination as musicians identify targets of focal awareness for themselves, their colleagues, and their students" (p. 29) and connects musicians' shifts of focus to the "success" of their performances (p. 230).…”

While the empirical study of the processes and mechanisms underlying joint musical performance has gained a lot of traction in the past few decades, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the study of musicians’ listening strategies in what remains a mainly audio-centric medium. Yet, understanding how musicians listen to each other is particularly crucial for more open-ended, improvised, or indeterminate musical practices, as it plays a crucial role in shaping how the performance will unfold. In this article, we report on an exploratory study that was designed to investigate the dynamics of musicians’ auditory attention in such settings, using Quatuor Bozzini’s performance of Éliane Radigue’s Occam Delta XV (2018) as a case study. Using a post hoc annotation procedure, we found striking differences between musicians’ overall auditory attention, with each musician’s listening orientation relating differently to the general narrative of Occam Delta XV. We also found that joint listening between musicians was more likely to emerge when coordination was more challenging, suggesting that attentional focus was used strategically by the performers as a way of enhancing coordination within the group. Taken together, our findings shed important light on musicians’ listening and interactional strategies in collective music-making.

Music performance is now recognised as a multisensory experience where both sound and sight contribute to its transmission and reception. The challenge for music education is to disseminate recent performance science research findings in this area into the curriculum using engaging and meaningful strategies. Practice without access to key research does not adequately prepare future music professionals as critical thinkers about, and evaluators of, music performance production and reception by themselves and by others. This study reports on a multisensory experiential learning workshop which aimed to equip university music students with knowledge and skills to capitalise on their inherent perceptual capacities. In doing so, students’ responses demonstrated an understanding of how to unlock tacit knowledge about performing and appropriate music perception skillsets which can be drawn into their own performing.
