Learning, understanding and recognizing the importance of formal and semantic congruence between music and sports routines
While music is common in many sports routines and dances, several similarities exist between music and movement. Music is often used simply as background music or sound, which defeats its actual purpose and ignores the effects of combining of both subjects. Both formal and semantic congruence are...

| Summary: | While music is common in many sports routines and dances, several similarities exist between music
and movement. Music is often used simply as background music or sound, which defeats its actual
purpose and ignores the effects of combining of both subjects. Both formal and semantic congruence
are available in the fields of music and movement and have been studied extensively. The current study
elucidates the scientific and philosophical evidence demonstrating the similarities between music and
movement. This study also emphasizes the importance of learning and understanding similarities in the
congruence between music and sports routines to maximize the effect of the combination of both
subjects. The research methods included a comparative analysis of literature from the fields of
movement and music. Through experiments and surveys, this study also proved that increased
congruence between subjects enhanced the perceived qualities in many aspects. The result also
showed that respondents with music training backgrounds were more capable of recognizing and
understanding perceived congruence. The purpose of this study was to encourage the recognition and
learning of music to increase understanding of its use in other domains, rather than using music merely
as a background sound in a subjective preference. This indicates that musical knowledge and education
are essential in the fields of various multimedia and film music. |
