“…One of Shusterman's fundamental claims is that heightened attention to the soma is central not only to somaesthetics but also to philosophy's traditional goals of knowledge, self-knowledge, virtue, happiness, and justice (Voparil & Giordano, 2015).The somaesthetics is concerned with pragmatist aesthetics, and the human being is a whole being in unity of body and mind, interacting with the physical and social environment…”

The aesthetic experience of the body in music and performance education offers a remarkable perspective in terms of musical understanding. Somatic approaches and practices for mind-body integrity play a facilitating role in this process. The aim of this conceptual article is to examine theoretical and practical applications within the conceptual framework of somaesthetics in music and performance education. Accordingly, the aim of this research is (i) to define the elements of somaesthetics in music and performance education, and (ii) to explore the unity of body and mind in music and performance education. In this context, examples of applications based on somaesthetics in music and performance education will be included. As a result of this review, practical recommendations are provided for music and instrument educators. These recommendations cover physical and mental practices with a reflective perspective. Through this study, the contributions of somatic approaches and practices in music and performance education are discussed and practical suggestions are made.

After defining somaesthetics and explaining the terms of its definition, this paper distinguishes between somaesthetics and other somatic disciplines concerned with improving the quality of our movement. The paper then outlines the roots of somaesthetics in pragmatist philosophy and the philosophical idea of the holistic art of living that combines cognitive, aesthetic, and ethical concerns. The next section discusses the three branches of somaesthetics and its three dimensions while also mapping their interrelations. After a section that contextualizes somaesthetics in relation to affect theory and cognitive science and that briefly notes some of its many interdisciplinary applications, the paper concludes with a discussion of the somaesthetic approach to the issue of norms and values in somatic experience, inquiry, and practice.
