1
You will hear a student called Joanna talking to her new supervisor about some research she has done on psychology and music.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
3
you Thank you.
4
26. Hi, Joanna.
5
Good to meet you.
6
Now, before we discuss your new research project,
7
I'd like to hear something about the psychology study you did last year for your master's degree.
8
So, how did you choose your subjects for that?
9
Well, I had six subjects,
10
all professional musicians and all female three were violinists
11
and there was also a cello player and a pianist
12
and a flute player they were all very highly regarded in the music world
13
and they'd done quite extensive tours in different continents and quite a few had won prizes and competitions as well.
14
And they were quite young, weren't they?
15
Yes, between 25 and 29.
16
The mean was 27.8.
17
I wasn't specifically looking for artists who'd produced recordings,
18
but this is something that's just taken for granted these days,
19
and they all had.
20
Right.
21
Now, you collected your data through telephone interviews, didn't you?
22
Yes.
23
I realised if I was going to interview leading musicians,
24
it'd only be possible over the phone because they're so busy.
25
I recorded them using a telephone recording adapter.
26
I'd been worried about the quality,
27
but it worked out alright.
28
I managed at least a 30-minute interview with each subject, sometimes longer.
29
Did doing it on the phone make it more stressful?
30
I thought it might.
31
It was all quite informal,
32
though, and in fact they seemed very keen to talk.
33
And I don't think using the phone meant I got less rich data.
34
Rather the opposite, in fact.
35
Interesting.
36
And you were looking at how performers dress for concert performances.
37
That's right.
38
My research investigated the way players see their role as a musician
39
and how this is linked to the type of clothing they decide to wear.
40
But that focus didn't emerge immediately.
41
When I started, I was more interested in trying to investigate the impact of what was worn on those listening,
42
and also whether someone like a violinist might adopt a different style of clothing from,
43
say, someone playing the flute or the trumpet.
44
It's interesting that the choice of dress is up to the individual, isn't it?
45
Yes.
46
You'd expect there to be rules about it in orchestras,
47
but that's quite rare.
48
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
49
you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
50
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
51
You only had women performers in your study.
52
Was that because male musicians are less worried about fashion?
53
I think a lot of the men are very much influenced by fashion,
54
but in social terms, the choices they have are more limited.
55
They'd really upset audiences if they strayed away from quite narrow boundaries.
56
Now, popular music has quite different expectations.
57
Did you read Mike Frost's article about the dress of women performers in popular music?
58
No.
59
Well, he points out that a lot of female singers
60
and musicians in popular music tend to dress down in performances and wear less feminine clothes,
61
like jeans instead of skirts.
62
And he suggests this is because otherwise they'd just be discounted as trivial.
63
But you could argue they're just wearing what's practical.
64
I mean, a pop music concert is usually a pretty energetic affair.
65
Yes, he doesn't make that point,
66
but I think you're probably right.
67
I was interested by the effect of the audience as a musical performance
68
when it came to the choice of dress the subjects i
69
interviewed felt this was really important it's all to do with what we understand by performance as a public event
70
they believed the audience had certain expectations
71
and it was up to them as performers to fulfill these
72
expectations to show a kind of esteem they weren't afraid of looking as if they'd made an effort to look good.
73
I think in the past,
74
the audience would have had those expectations of one another too,
75
but that's not really the case now.
76
Not in the UK anyway.
77
No. And I also got interested in what sports scientists are doing too with regard to clothing.
78
Musicians are quite vulnerable physically, aren't they?
79
Because the movements they carry out are very intensive and repetitive,
80
so I'd imagine some features of sports clothing could safeguard the players from the potentially dangerous effects of this sort of thing.
81
Yes, but musicians don't really consider it.
82
They avoid clothing that obviously restricts their movements,
83
but that's as far as they go.
84
Anyway, coming back to your own research,
85
do you have any idea where you're going from here?
86
I was thinking of doing a study using an audience, including...
87
That is the end of section 3.
88
You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, ascolterai un'intervista tra una studentessa, Joanna, e il suo supervisore riguardo a una ricerca nel campo della psicologia e della musica. Avrai l'opportunità di praticare le tue abilità di ascolto e migliorare la tua pronuncia mentre esplori le dinamiche tra professionisti della musica e le scelte stilistiche legate alle performance. Attraverso il shadowing in inglese, sarai in grado di riflettere sul ritmo e sull'intonazione dell'inglese parlato, il che è fondamentale per migliorare la pronuncia inglese.

Vocabolario e frasi chiave

  • subjects - soggetti
  • professional musicians - musicisti professionisti
  • telephone interviews - interviste telefoniche
  • concert performances - performance concertistiche
  • dressing style - stile di abbigliamento
  • rich data - dati ricchi
  • individual choice - scelta individuale
  • impact on listeners - impatto sugli ascoltatori

Consigli per la pratica

Per sfruttare al massimo questa occasione di shadow speech, ti consiglio di ascoltare attentamente e ripetere insieme a Joanna e al suo supervisore. Poiché il ritmo della conversazione è moderato, avrai l'opportunità di concentrarti sulla pronuncia e sull'intonazione. Ecco alcuni suggerimenti pratici per l'allenamento:

  • Ascolta una frase e poi interrompi il video per ripeterla, prestando attenzione alla pronuncia di parole chiave come "musicians" e "interviews".
  • Cerca di imitare il tono e l'emozione nell'intervento di Joanna, specialmente quando parla delle sue scelte di abbigliamento.
  • Utilizza il video come risorsa per imparare l'inglese con YouTube, annotando nuove espressioni che puoi riprendere nei tuoi discorsi quotidiani.
  • Registra la tua voce mentre fai shadowing, in modo da poter riscontrare e correggere eventuali errori di pronuncia.
  • Dedica del tempo a riflettere sulle scelte degli artisti e considera come queste possano influenzare l'impatto sugli ascoltatori; ciò ti aiuterà a collegare la teoria della psicologia musicale con l'inglese praticato.

Ricorda, la successiva pratica della pronuncia inglese e il miglioramento delle tue abilità di ascolto possono aprire porte inaspettate nel tuo percorso di apprendimento!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
