Part 1: Listen and answer questions 1-2
SUPERVISOR: Interesting. And you were looking at how performers dress for concert performances?
JOANNA: That’s right. My research investigated the way players see their role as a musician and how this is linked to the type of clothing they decide to wear. But that focus didn’t emerge immediately. When I started I was more interested in trying to investigate the impact of what was worn on those listening, and also whether someone like a violinist might adopt a different style of clothing from, say, someone playing the flute or the trumpet.
SUPERVISOR: It’s interesting that the choice of dress is up to the individual, isn’t it?
JOANNA: Yes, you’d expect there to be rules about it in orchestras, but that’s quite rare.
