In Perfect Harmony – How Music Leads Us Towards the Highest Good

Shanti Jones 강원대학교 인문과학연구소 2021 Journal of Humanities Therapy Vol.12 No.2

In the Western world today, music is thought of more as an entertainment than as a source of enlightenment. So, it might seem odd to be connecting music with enabling a person to achieve their highest psychological and moral development, which in philosophical terms is known as the highest good. And yet, since the beginning of written history, great thinkers around the world have been interested in why music is such a powerful guiding force, both for individuals and whole cultures. This article takes a closer look at the world of music in order to better understand not only how it contributes to the highest good, but also how it creates greater harmony – not only within the individual, but also between people. It relies on philosophy, psychology, spirituality, and neuroscience to make its points. Perspectives from the East, and examples of music from other cultures, will also give insight into music’s value. One of the aims of these reflections is to move the reader towards a more conscious use of music. To that end, ways in which an individual can more fully extend the musical experience in his or her life are presented. When a larger consciousness surrounds it, more people will be able to take greater advantage of all the good that music has to offer. In turn, this will make our world a better, more harmonious place to live.

음악 교육이 언어 능력에 미치는 영향: 뇌과학적 근거

이경면 ( Lee Kyung Myun ) 서울대학교 음악이론연구 2017 음악이론연구 Vol.28 No.-

How is musical training related to language learning? To answer this question, this paper reviews recent research on the relation of music and language competence in the field of neuroscience and cognitive science. Both music and language are processed in the common auditory pathway and the auditory pathway shaped by musical training facilitates the processing of linguistic sounds. In addition, by reviewing studies on the rhythm and reading ability, this paper explains how rhythm training improves reading skills. The possibility of a new music program converging musical rhythm and language is also discussed based on the results of scientific research on language and music.

This paper reviewed recent music intervention studies that investigated the effect of music training on language abilities from the perspective of neuroscience. Based on the results of the studies, a music program was proposed to develop Korean language ability. This paper analyzed why the music programs used in the previous studies contributed to the improvement of language ability and discussed what should be differentiated given the prosody of Korean. In addition, it was discussed how early and how long music training should be conducted to promote language development.

Kognitive Musikwissenschaft: naturalisierte Erforschung musikalischen Geistes

( Uwe Seifert ) 한양대학교 음악연구소 2004 音樂論壇 Vol.18 No.-

In dem vorliegenden Artikel wird ein geisteswissenschaftliches Forschungsprogramm am Beispiel der Kognitiven Musikwissenschaft entworfen, das F or schungsergebnisse, Grundannahmen und Forschungsmethode der Kognitions- und Neurowissenschaften integriert. Als Konsequenz werden Forschungsziele und -fragen musikwissenschaftlicher Forschung, die als Kognitive Musikwissenschaft innerhalb des kognitionswissenschaftlichen Forschungsrahmens erfolgt, reformuliert bzw. neu bestimmt. Dabei wird folgendermaPen vorgegangen. Zunachst wird das Eindringen der Kognitions- und N eur owissenschaf ten in traditionell geisteswissenschaftliche Forschungsbereiche diskutiert. Dann werden Grundannahmen und Methodologie der Kognitionswissenschaft vorgestellt. Da derzeit in den geisteswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen ein kulturwissenschaftliches bzw. medienkulturwissenschaftliches Selbstverstandnis vorherrscht, wird gezeigt, dass sich Musikforschung auch heute noch als Geisteswissenschaft bestimmen lasst. Die geisteswissenschaftliche Musikforschung wird in einem nachsten Schritt in das kognitionswissenschaftliche Paradigma eingebettet. Daraus resultiert dann die Gliederung der Kognitiven Musikwissenschaft in Theoretische Musikologie, Psycho- und Neuromusikologie. Abschlie(3end werden liberlegungen angesprochen, dies es ermoglichen konnten, den vorwiegend individualpsychologisch ausgerichteten Forschungsansatz des kognitionswissenschaftlichen Forschungsrahmens, mit kulturell-historischen Forschungen der Musikethnologie und Historischen Musikwissenschaft zu verbinden, um die Kognitive Musikwissenschaft zu einer zeitgemafen Interpretationswissenschaft zu entwickeln.

음악 청취 시 나타나는 음악적 몰입 연구에 대한 고찰: 플로우(Flow) 이론을 중심으로

오은지,박지은,최유진,이경면 연세대학교 음악연구소 2023 음악이론포럼 Vol.30 No.2

음악적 몰입은 음악 청취, 악기 연주 등의 음악 활동에 참여하는 동안 음악에 깊게 집중하고 있는 심리적 상태를 의미한다. 특히 음악을 청취하는 동안 나타나는 몰입은 청취자로 하여금 긍정적인 감정을 경험하게 하며, 이때 몰입을 자주 경험하는 사람일수록 주관적 행복감이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그렇다면 음악 청취 시 나타나는 음악적 몰입 상태를 어떻게 규정할 수 있으며, 청취자가 몰입을 경험하고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있는 방법에는 무엇이 있을까? 인지과학, 신경과학 분야에서 다양한 연구들이 음악 청취자의 몰입 상태를 과학적으로 평가하고 정량화하고자 시도하고 있다. 그러나 기존 연구에서는 플로우(flow), 몰두(absorption), 참여(engagement) 등 몰입을 설명하는 여러 개념들이 혼재되어 사용되고 있어 음악적 몰입 현상을 개념화하기 어렵다는 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 몰입에 관한 다양한 논문 리뷰를 통해 음악 청취 활동 시 나타나는 몰입 모형이 선행요인-몰입 상태-결과의 3단계로 구분될 수 있음을 칙센트미하이(Csikszentmihalyi)의 플로우 이론에 기반하여 확인할 것이다. 또한, 음악 청취의 몰입을 행동적, 생리학적, 신경과학적으로 정량화할 수 있는 방법론과 향후 연구 방향을 제안하고자 한다.

This paper conducts narrative analysis for the rhetorical critique of Roederer's The Physics and Psychophysics of Music,a prominent textbook of music science. It is possible to analyze implicit narratives even for texts in non-narrative genres. In science textbooks, implicit narratives can be analyzed in structural, educational, and research contexts. Roederer's satisfiesstructural coherence by composing a book in a way that deals with the perception of pitch, volume, timbre, and harmonyaccording to the stages of sound generation, transmission, and acceptance in a structural context. In an educational context,a book is composed of content that students may be interested in for a scientific understanding of music to satisfy materialcoherence, and the validity of narrative fidelity is satisfied through the pursuit of reliable knowledge through experiencedata and improved observational equipment according to the method of constructing scientific knowledge. From the researchcontext, we can confirmed that characterological coherence is secured by satisfying the truthfulness of narrative fidelity throughthe update of knowledge throughout the four editions, and by revealing that the knowledge of music science is being builtthrough the activities of major researchers.

음치에 대한 이해

김청수 대한후두음성언어의학회 2023 대한후두음성언어의학회지 Vol.34 No.3

To become skilled in singing, one needs the ability to accurately perceive music and the capacity to vocalize it. Recognition of music can be distinguished by the perception of pitch and rhythm. Pitch perception is often determined by genetics and neurological differences, whereas rhythm perception is influenced more by environmental factors than genetics. Tone deafness, or amusia, can stem from difficulties in perceiving pitch or from an inability to sing despite accurate pitch perception, known specifically as “purely vocal tone deafness.” This condition involves a disconnect between perception and the act of singing. And this can also arise from problems in the memory of perceived musical notes. Tone deafness not only affects musical abilities but also impacts language processing and communication.

fNIRS를 이용한 피아노 즉흥연주와 재현연주에서의 전전두피질의 뇌 활성도 비교 분석

Purpose This study to aims to examine and compare the brain activity during various types of piano performance, including representation, variation, and improvisation, and analyze the factors that affect the differences of the brain activity. Methods The brain activity during the performances was measured by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and the comparative analysis was performed with statistical models. In addition, the subject carried out a survey about flow, difficulty, self-efficacy and density which were used for multiple linear regression to examine their effect on the brain activity. Result The analysis results revealed inhibitory activity in the right middle frontal gyrus and right superior frontal gyrus during improvisation, which was influenced by subjective difficulty levels of the musical pieces and the number of notes played. Conclusion In this study, we found the relationship between the musical improvisation and deactivation of prefrontal cortex and various factors relevant to the brain activity. These findings can contribute to expanding our neuroscientific understanding of musical creativity and clarifying the potential efficacy of music therapy and education especially for diseases or disorders regarding the brain deactivation
