“…As a consequence, the listener is said to take on 'an aesthetic attitude' (Juslin, 2013) and would be involved in emotional contagion (Juslin & Västfjäll, 2008). Such musical experiences can exert a power of absorption in the listener, whereby they may become one with the music (Schäfer et al, 2013) or they may be completely drawn to the music (Bicknell, 2007). But in this process not only musical notes, but also lyrics express emotions.…”

One of the main reasons for studying a foreign language is communicating with others, but many students do not feel confidently enough when trying to develop their speaking skills. Among adolescents’ frequent activities are that of listening to music while paying attention to song lyrics. We hypothesize that these musical experiences could influence their speaking skills. The present study aims to consider different factors that could influence students’ speaking proficiency. Among these factors, students’ emotional understanding, their willingness to communicate in a FL and their musical experience are considered. One hundred and twenty-four students of English as a foreign language (EFL) in the fourth year of Secondary Education from three different high schools in Spain took part in the study. Oral data were collected through individual interviews and three scales were administered to measure the different factors. Students’ musical experience and emotional response to music were measured through The Absorption in Music Scale, their emotional understanding of verbal texts through The Situational Test of Emotional Understanding – Brief, and their willingness to communicate in the EFL class through Willingness to Communicate Scale. Although no direct connection was found between students’ musical experience and their speaking proficiency, results demonstrate that students with high emotional understanding show better speaking skills and that students with musical experience exhibited higher emotional understanding. We detected a significant positive connection between emotional understanding and all the five parameters considered to assess students’ speaking proficiency. The connection between willingness to communicate in the EFL class and students’ speaking skills is even greater.

“…This critical role of social and cultural context places the act of music listening in an intrinsically social setting. In some contexts, the need for social bonding may give rise to strong emotional responses to music ( Bicknell, 2007 ).…”

Music has a unique power to elicit moments of intense emotional and psychophysiological response. These moments – termed “chills,” “thrills”, “frissons,” etc. – are subjects of introspection and philosophical debate, as well as scientific study in music perception and cognition. The present article integrates the existing multidisciplinary literature in an attempt to define a comprehensive, testable, and ecologically valid model of transcendent psychophysiological moments in music.

“…In art, scientific methods of cognition are transformed into compositional writing techniques or are objectified in a musical text as ideas or concepts, determining the functioning of certain sound forms (Bicknell, 2007;Bresnahan, 2015;Elliott & Silverman, 2012). Note that religious ideas (concepts) can be expressed by the scientific method of working with musical material or be philosophically coloured.…”

The composer?s philosophical thinking category is actually significant; a stable approach to the phe- nomenon under study has not developed to this day. This phenomenon is a complex socially conditioned mechanism of creativity, which entails understanding and clarifying several philosophical and cultural cat- egories, such as thinking, consciousness, worldview, style, writing technique, concept, cultural values. This research reveals the essence of such a phenomenon as the composer?s philosophy of thinking in the interdependence?s aspect of the worldview and writing technique. The fundamental approaches, methods and principles of research in composer?s philosophical thinking area formed the methodological basis of this scientific article. The manifestations of the composer?s thinking as an aspect of writing technique (thinking-writing) are considered. The philosophical type of worldview in the composer?s work has been substantiated, and the primary forms of their manifestation in the musical text have been determined.
