Research On Music Improvisation And Its Capacity Development Perspective From Cognitive Psychology

Through literature review and theoretical analysis,this paper understands the essence of music improvisation from the perspective of cognitive psychology,and proposes a theoretical conception of perceptual situational experience in the ability training process model.The first is to reveal the essence of perceptual reconstruction by reviewing the development of musical improvisation,and believes that the "imitation,simulation,imitation,reproduction" of the origin of Chinese and Western music has a cognitivist color.As Chinese and Western cultures were also influenced by natural,social and human environments in the course of historical development,China and the West each went on a different path of development after the Middle Ages(Middle Ages).Western culture attaches great importance to science and rationality,and has formed a dualism that attaches importance to formal logic.Since modern times,Western music has formed a polyphonic tonal music system based on fixed pitch,equal rhythm,and vertical structure,driven by functional harmony.The development of Chinese music,under the background of emphasizing Taoism and disregarding instruments,has finally developed a Chinese-style pentatonic music characterized by gradual changes(gradual pitch,gradual speed,shift of house,etc.)and linear thinking.system.In the Middle Ages,Tang Dynasty pursued the expressive conception of expressing the image with full meaning and immersed in the freehand brushwork,and took a completely different path from the West.In a word,the Chinese people are influenced by the thinking of the "Xiangshu factor" and form a Chinese-style "pentatonic" tonal and tonal category perception,while the Westerners start from the "mathematical factor" and form a Western-style,functional major and minor key system.The tonal perception of Chinese and Western music improvisation in terms of melody,rhythm,modulation,etc.can be explained by cognitive psychology.The second is to use the Gestalt principles of cognitive psychology to analyze the internal and external motivations of musical improvisation,and think that the "vector" force generated by the similarity of auditory perception is the internal driving force for tonal perception,and the selective application of this principle is It constitutes the division of Chinese and Western music scales,modes and harmony systems.The principle of "interaction" between the figure and the background is the internal motivation for the structural change of the melody in the musical improvisation.Corresponding to the principles of proximity and continuity,the preference for smaller intervals in improvisation,under the combined action of the principles of proximity and continuity,scale progression and chromatic progression have become the most common and meaningful choices in improvisation.According to the principle of "closed tendency",new melodies that break the continuity of the main theme line of the prototype are created,but are richer.Under the guidance of complete and closed tendencies,many variations in musical improvisation are formed.The act of musical improvisation corresponding to the transitional temperament is first a modulation or transposition,and then a perceptual response with a similar outline.The third is to introduce cognitive learning theory to discuss the cultivation of music improvisation ability.The perceptual principle explains the important psychological mechanism of musical improvisation,and the cultivation of musical improvisation ability should also be based on cognitive learning theory,because the development of musical improvisation is actually a process of perceptual learning and perceptual reconstruction,and the practice of musical improvisation It is the reconstruction of perceptual situational memory.Starting from the inheritance of knowledge,the cultivation of music improvisation ability must return to the historical context,and seek the path of perceptual situation establishment in history,so as to form music with historical dimension of perceptual situational experience.Improvisation Educational Cultivation Concept.Fourth,based on the viewpoint of "learning is perceptual reorganization",the teaching practice mode of music improvisation based on perceptual situational experience is proposed.He believes that learning is the use of perception to reorganize and recreate Gestalt,and the process of perceptual learning is a psychological process in which perception is reorganized to form Gestalt,and this process is epiphany.Music improvisation means that under the special circumstance of improvisation,human beings follow the brain’s interpretation of music,and organize and present it as a musical performance with its internalized pitch,melody,tonality,rhythm,and even more advanced structural factors."invention".The cultivation of musical improvisation ability should go back to the context of cognitive psychology.The cultivation of musical improvisation ability is a cyclic process in which the situation changes the brain,the brain generates perception,perception guides behavior,and behavior perceives the situation.Furthermore,it is proposed that in the perceptual situation,students’ musical improvisation ability should be cultivated and exercised from five aspects: "music theory","melody","rhythm","harmony" and "auditory discrimination".The five parts,and the five parts are each other’s wholes and figures,and learning is the process of realizing the epiphany in the "reciprocal" experience of these wholes and figures.In a word,musical improvisation is by no means an accidental and arbitrary behavior of human beings,because all human creative behaviors originate from the interpretation of our brain,so this paper proposes that the goal of music improvisation and its ability training is to follow the interpretation of the brain and create what we want to hear.
