“…The energising institutional support comes from Sabina Vidulin, who started several projects encompassing colleagues from several institutions in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia. The main research topics are the cognitive and emotional aspects of music listening in the music-pedagogical context (e.g., Vidulin et al, 2020;Vidulin et al, 2022).…”

Psychology of Music is a flourishing area of research in the Western Balkans. However, much of its findings and insights have remained relatively unknown outside the region. Psychological Perspectives on Musical Experiences and Skills features recent research from the Western Balkans, foregrounding its specific topics, methods, and influences, and bringing it into productive conversation with complementary research from Western Europe and further afield. The essays in this collection investigate the psychology of listening and performance and their relevance to music practice. Employing a range of research methodologies, they address divergent themes, from a cross-cultural understanding of aesthetic experiences and innovations to attract new audiences, to developmental perspectives on musical growth and the challenges of mastering performance skills. Authors reflect independently and collaboratively on how these psychological processes are shaped by the different traditions and geopolitical conditions inside and outside the Western Balkans. The result is a volume that emphasizes how musical experiences and practices happen not in isolation but in socio-cultural environments that contribute to their definition. This work will appeal to musicians, music educators, students, researchers, and psychologists with an interest in the psychology of music and exemplify ways forward in decolonizing academia.

Psychological Perspectives on Musical Experiences and Skills

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The psychology of music is a broad research area in the range of questions and topics it addresses and the interdisciplinary research methods it employs to investigate music perception, cognition, emotion, and performance in every day and expert musical situations. It is an area of research flourishing in the Western Balkans as well as in Western Europe. This introductory chapter provides a brief historical overview of research in the Western Balkans, which has received relatively less attention and coverage in international research publications. It presents developments in music psychology in countries of former Yugoslavia―Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia. Next, a preview of the book is offered that is a compilation of research originated in the Western Balkans and Western Europe on key themes of the psychology of music: Aesthetic emotional responses to music, listening to music in various contexts, music cognition and skill development, and then, the role of motivation, personality and environmental scaffolding for musical development, followed by professional challenges and well-being of musicians. Whilst the main contribution is to develop knowledge and understanding of music psychology, a secondary contribution is to raise awareness of research in this subject area as conducted for over 40 years in the Western Balkans and promote dialogue between research conducted across Europe and hopefully beyond.

“…During the CEA lessons, pupils become familiar not only with the music, but also with different musical (e.g., analysis of the structure of the piece) as well as non-musical (e.g., information about the composer and the societal context in which the piece was composed) information related to the piece (Vidulin & Kazić, 2021). Moreover, divergent listening to music was encouraged by questions directed toward pupils' unique experiences of the music (Kratus, 2017;Vidulin et al, 2022) in terms of liking and emotionality. The activities included in the CEA promote attentive listening to music that can be beneficial for music liking.…”

In this study, we examined differences in music-evoked emotions and music liking between two approaches to teaching ear-training in music school. Participants were 423 pupils (60% female; Mage = 10.55 years, SDage = 0.92) in the third grade. In two ear-training lessons prepared either by the standard (STA) or the multimodal and interdisciplinary cognitive-emotional approach (CEA), pupils listened to a 2-minute excerpt from the 4th movement (Allegro con fuoco) of the Symphony no. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 (“From the New World”) by Antonín Dvořák. The Geneva Emotional Music Scale (GEMS-9, Zentner et al., 2008) was translated and adapted to measure music-evoked emotions. Pupils also reported their music liking. In this study, the original three-factor structure of the GEMS-9 was not replicated, and instead a two-factor solution with factors labelled Activation and Calmness emerged. The results showed that in both groups the music evoked moderate to moderately high Activation and low Calmness. Pupils reported high music liking, however, those who participated in the CEA liked the music more than those who participated in the STA. The listening activities that enrich children’s experiences of classical music in the classroom are discussed.
