Aesthetic Response
This chapter examines the ways in which ‘aesthetic response’ has been described and used within the philosophy, psychology, and sociology of music education, and examines relevant research that has sought to identify the nature and developmental trajectory in children's musical engagement within and across these fields. In so doing, it explores a view of aesthetic response as ‘performative’ and constitutive of identity, and considers the implications of this view for theories of children's musical development.
Keywords: aesthetic response, aesthetics, musical development, aesthetic identity
