Article Synopsis
- Singing ability is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with the exact contributions still unclear.
- A study of 1189 Australian twins used an online tool to assess singing performance across various tasks, aiming to understand these influences.
- Results showed moderate heritability of singing ability (40.7%) and a similar impact from shared environmental factors (37.1%), highlighting the importance of early exposure to music and family singing experiences.
This exploratory study engages with eight case studies of music performances broadcast online to investigate the role of music in facilitating social cohesion, intercultural understanding and community resilience during a time of social distancing and concomitant heightened racial tensions. Using an online ethnographic approach and thematic analysis of video comments, the nature of audience engagement with music performances broadcast via YouTube during COVID-19 lockdown of 2020 is explored through the lens of ritual engagement with media events and models of social capital. The eight case studies featured virtual choirs, orchestras and music collaborations of various genres, including classical, pop and fusion styles drawing from European, Asia Minor, South African, West African, North African, Arabic, South Asian, and East Asian cultural origins.
