Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Prior experience in the form of music training is studied through a clapping paradigm to North Indian alap. Seven Ohio State graduate students possessing prior experience in the form of traditional North Indian music study and seven Ohio State graduate music students who do not possess that prior experience clap to North Indian alap in a laboratory setting. Differences in subject performances are detected through statistical and musical analysis. The importance of prior experience as a determinant of synchronization pattern is examined. The study finds that prior experience does lead to significantly different patterns of synchronization for individuals with and without prior experience. Additionally, the study finds a correlation between prior experience and synchronization to the mukhra (a cadential melody).
