Abstract
The aim of the current pilot study was to develop a further understanding behind the research question: How does the implementation of body movement in music lessons and thus variability in movement relate to creativity as well as subjective 4E musical creativity and experience? Correspondingly, a longitudinal experiment was conducted in which three participants particpated in four innovative Kine-Musical Performance (KiMuPe) lessons and following improvisations on a weekly basis. The improvisation sessions were recorded, coded according to an adapted version of the Micro-Developmental Coding Framework of Creativity by Kupers et al. (2018) and then the participants’ amount as well as variability of movement was analyzed with OpenPose. To measure 4E musical creativity and experience a new questionnaire was created on the basis of the definitions and examples of the Embodied, Enactive, Embedded, and Extended dynamics of musical creativity by Van der Schyff et al. (2018). As this was an explorative pilot study, we did not formulate hypotheses. The findings revealed that our creativity coding was not predictive of variability of movement. However, we did find significant relations between average variability in movement and the Embodied dynamics of musical creativity as well as the full model of the 4E subscales. These results point to promising insights into the relationship between the 4E dynamics of musical creativity and variability of movement. Therefore, extending research on how musical creativity evolves using complex dynamical systems approaches and KiMuPe while taking 4E dynamics into account might result in culturally relevant results that have a major impact on how music is taught.
