For my Special Subject Investigation assignment I will be looking at how we can use Music Psychology and song-writing techniques to provoke specific feelings, thoughts and actions in listeners. I expect to find new techniques and musical devices that I can later use in my song-writing in order to impact and influence people in different ways. In addition to this I expect to get a broader understand of music psychology and how these song-writing techniques scientically impact and work with our brains.
I will predominately use secondary research via books and the internet, watching videos and reading interviews with psychologists and maybe songwriters (if I can find some!), reading case studies and finding any news articles on research. In addition, I will also conduct a bit of primary research to see if the things I find out through my secondary research impacts me in the way that my research suggests that it will.
Why am I wanting to look into this topic? I am thinking about studying a Psychology degree and I want to write influential and impactful songs. I feel that by looking into this area I will expand my knowledge on song-writing techniques and I will have some evidence to show when applying to University as well as a better understanding of Psychology before I take a degree in it. I don't know, but maybe my research will help other song-writers out there write more impactful songs too.
