Spatial Co-ordination in Music Tuition.

Abstract

Playing an instrument is a physical skill learned through observation, repetition and rehearsal.Students of orchestral instruments seek one-to-one tuition from expert musicians.However as they become more accomplished, the number of suitable tutors becomes more concentrated, especially for less common instruments.Often a tutor-student relationship develops over several years and temporary separation due to overseas performing, auditioning and teaching commitments is problematic.Some music education organisations use video conferencing as a solution to these problems, however it has long been recognised that interaction mediated by video conferencing is not analogous to a co-present experience.In this paper, ethnographic video analysis is used to study the interactions in copresent and separated instrumental music lessons.We find that the musical score represents more than a physical embodiment of the music -it plays an important role in coordinating activity and interaction.In video mediated lessons a single physical score can no longer be shared and interaction is changed as a result.
