Abstract

Cognitive feedback (CFB) is a tool that allows musicians to compare their performance to a performance model to improve their expressiveness. The aim of this research was to verify the effectiveness of CFB as a strategy for communicating emotions between piano students and their listeners. A listening experiment was conducted involving emotional responses of 150 listeners to recordings played in two conditions: before and after the influence of CFB. The emotions investigated were happiness, love, sadness, surprise, calm, anger, nostalgia, expectation, anxiety, aversion, admiration and pride. Results indicated that CFB helped to communicate aversion, admiration and surprise, but hindered the communication of anxiety. Furthermore, CFB did not influence to communicate happiness, love, sadness, calm, anger, nostalgia, expectation and pride. These results were discussed with the BRECVEMA model, proposed by Patrik Juslin.
