Despite the ubiquity of vocal references in the talk and texts produced within this community, there is little consensus as to what vocality means for instrumental musicians, and few questions are asked of those who claim to advocate for a vocal style of playing. Whilst vocality for instrumentalists has been dealt with in existing scholarship through discussion about the emulation of specific techniques such as vibrato and portamento, by investigating the principles of rhetoric and their relationship to temporal and articulatory issues, and in philosophical commentary on vocality as an ideal to which instrumentalists aspire, attention has not yet been paid to how “voice” is produced and manipulated discursively by instrumental musicians in the social contexts of their professional lives. Therefore, this thesis explores some of the ways in which instrumental musicians construct vocality in contemporary discourse about the practice of performance. In this thesis, a series of excerpts from pedagogical texts on instrumental music performance written in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries is presented to illuminate a discussion about vocality that has long been ongoing. Subsequently, a discourse approach is taken to the analysis of transcribed excerpts from four audio-visual recordings of instrumental masterclasses, alongside additional excerpts drawn from interviews with instrumental musicians and a variety of other contemporary texts. During the analytical process, two interpretative repertoires—recurring ways in which instrumental musicians construct vocality—are identified: the knowing voice and the disciplined voice. The discursive actions facilitated by musicians’ employment of these repertoires are examined in relation to the discourse excerpts. In response to this analysis, three claims are made. The first is that vocality is polysemic: it is constructed according to the social context and action-orientation of the discourse in which it is embedded. The second is that vocality is linked to the reproduction and naturalisation of normative musical practices. The third is that in musicians’ talk and texts, the construction of musical ideas is entangled with the construction of identities, and stories of voice provide especially rich material for authoring selves in the context of the masterclass. This thesis calls for expert performers to acknowledge, question, and engage critically with the ways in which they produce and perpetuate musical principles in their day-to-day practices, and for them to make space for developing musicians to do the same. 3 Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................ 3 List of Figures ........................................................................................................................ 7 Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................... 8 Introduction ........................................................................................................................ 11 1.

Employing the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach, a total of 1,120 records were retrieved and examined, with 110 eventually included in the analyses. Frequencies/percentages were generated for research output in five-year time periods, type of publication, sampling locations, and methodologies. Summaries of all 110 records were provided; content analyses on topics covered were also conducted. Findings indicated a clear increase in research interest over the past 15 years with quantitative methodologies being twice as prevalent as qualitative approaches. While the vast majority (97.7%) of quantitative research employed self-report questionnaires, the most common form of qualitative data collection was interviews (59.1%).

Though you have been gone for most of my life, I live every day with the thoughts and memories of your love and good nature. I have always strived to make decisions in my life that would make you proud and to live up to the positive experiences you gave me as a present and caring farther. While our time together was brief, your influence and presence in my life could not be more important to this day. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my best friend, my most valued colleague, and my wife Jessica Vaughan-Marra. Jess continually inspires me both personally and professionally. From the time we met as music education undergrads, she has been an unstoppable force of love and devotion to our relationship and family as well as to the music education profession. I feel so fortunate to have a partner who shares the same personal and professional interests and aspirations.
