“…Each individual's way of responding to music is influenced by their liking and preference for that music. For instance, Mohan and Thomas (2020) explored the effect of background music on the performance of 34 Indian adolescents aged thirteen to fourteen years on their comprehension of words and sentences in English. Participants with average verbal ability and a preference for the Indian music being used comprised the final sample.…”

This OSF project contains the source and supplementary materials for the book "The Power of Music: an exploration of the evidence" (under review). This book was written to provide an update to The power of music: A research synthesis of the impact of actively making music on the intellectual, social and personal development of children and young people. As the evidence was collated, it became clear that much more research had been undertaken since the original book was produced and that that research was focused on a much wider age range with particular expansion in work with older age groups. It was therefore decided to expand the book to include research across the lifespan covering a wider range of issues, particularly those relating to health and wellbeing as these have become more important in the research agenda in recent years. The title referring to an exploration of the research was selected to make it possible to take account of all kinds of research from large scale population studies to single case studies, correlation studies, experiments and evaluations of interventions with a focus on both listening to and actively making and creating music. Some interventions that have several different outcomes are mentioned in more than one chapter. As there has been much controversy recently as to whether music can have any impact, particularly on cognition, it was felt important to include examples of individual research projects for the reader to be able to draw their own conclusions about the impact of music rather than relying on a summary, although an overview is provided at the end of each chapter. This means that the book is not always an easy read. Some of the research is extremely complex and takes time to understand. It is hoped that despite this it will enable the reader to make an informed decision about the power of music in a range of areas across the lifespan.

“…In this context, there are several publications on musical behavior in social media. Studies that highlight the didactic use of video tutorials and informal online musical learning [43,44], or those focusing on musical exchange communities and virtual performances [45][46][47]. This environment encourages music video's popularity as a storytelling and promotional tool.…”

Transmedia storytelling has been integrated into contemporary society through social media, where influencers have enabled the building of worlds. Within this environment of human-interaction, fiction and converging social realities have become an essential tool to tell stories. On YouTube, storytelling has expanded to music, where cover videos take on great relevance. The aim of this study is to understand the transmedia music phenomenon due to the impact of music on the platform. To this end, we applied a methodology that stemmed from Grounded Theory principles in the analysis of 300 Disney animation song covers in three stages: (1) deductive and inductive codebook development; (2) social network analysis; and (3) statistical test. The results showed that youtubers highlight specific audiovisual codes from the film and cultural industries. Furthermore, we observed these productions often display configurations that expand the original story through performance, location, costumes, make-up, among others. We argue that, on the digital sphere, a sustainable transmedia music paradigm is developing, where performers construct more meaningful and valuable stories.

“…However, researchers still do not have a clear conclusion about the impact of playing background music on the task performance of young people. The current research results on background music are full of controversy and uncertainty, the results of various studies about background music refute each other and lack a unified conclusion [1]. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to explore how to use background music to maximize the task performance of young people.…”

Current studies on the effects of background music are controversial and lack consensus. This paper analyzes a large number of previous studies on the relationship between background music and task performance. The purpose of this paper is to explore the best ways for young people to play background music and maximize the positive impact of background music on their learning/cognitive performance. The conclusion was that older students were better suited to playing background music while studying. Appropriate fast-major music with no Lyrics can have the best positive impact on task performance.
