| Summary: | The work described in this paper dealt with two tasks: (1) to determine an individual's particular representation of a melody--how he represents it to himself, what relations he finds, and (2) to observe how an individual's representation of a melody might change in the course of working with given melodic materials in an experimental situation. Students were provided a musical gadgetry in which a typewriter was coupled with a computer and a "music box." The box could produce a five octave range of pitches and could play up to four parts simultaneously. Subjects were to build a tune which made sense to them. From this, strategies which they invoked and decisions they made were studied. Narrative accounts of two students' efforts appear in the report. (Author/CP) |
