    Intonation. Investigating intonation in melodic instruments and the voice by means of behavioral science methods

    Intonation is of pivotal importance in music performance and it is a preponderantly learned skill dependent on cultural and individual predilections. Evidence shows that the neuronal substrate for intonation is most probably brain plasticity, that is to say the brain capacity to self-change its own functional and structural organization mostly by means of experience. The question arises as to how different and individual intonation models and preferences of melodic instrumentalists and singers can be learned reliably and in self-study fulfilling professional standards. More specifically: can diverging intonation models and preferences according to individual interpretation predilections be learned by means of software solutions?
