- Abstract
The Jew's harp music effect was examined in the context of observation, interview and music sessions. Representatives from two cultural groups (American and Kyrgyz) participated in the music sessions. The research defined and measured how independent variable (Jew's harp music) acted upon the dependent variables (consciousness, emotion, associations, imagery) that evoked in the respondent's consciousness. While listening to the Jew's harp music (live and recorded), the representatives responded through such activities as relaxation, free association, story-telling, imagery, and reminiscing. The aim of the study was to verify the hypothesis of how strong was the impact of the Jew's harp music on the representatives of both cultures. The results of the study revealed that all respondents reported about the imageries closely connected with their cultural background: history, mentality, culture, and identity. BMGIM (Bonny method of Guided Imagery and Music) was the main method for revealing pivotal moments of Jew's harp music effect.
