Title
Visual concretization of musical concepts as applied by engineers : a case study
Author
Abstract
Brain research has shown that vision is our most dominant sense and that more information is absorbed visually than through any of the other senses. How visual techniques may contribute to developing musical skills is an area that remains largely unexplored. The current case reports on how two engineers - students from my piano class - integrated cognitive visual strategies to handle musical complexities. Their approach illustrates how engineering knowledge and skills can be applied to creating music and comprehending musical concepts. This study indicates that our neural networks can be trained to become more sophisticated and foster the intellectual capacity to solve musical intricacies. In addition, we also suggest that music teachers may benefit from the problem-solving attitude and visual thinking abilities of engineers as a valuable transdisciplinary input to find solutions to specific problems.
