Musicians sought for research on intermusicality

Here we reproduce a letter by researcher Mahaliah Edwards, who's looking for musicians to contribute to her current line of work. Please, take a look:

Dear all,  

I’m wondering if you can help me. 

For my Master’s degree, I’m researching musicians who have in-depth cultural and social understanding of two or more distinct musical traditions. I want to find out about their musical upbringing and experiences moving between different musical traditions and spaces. There are many terms for this, including bimusicality or intermusicality. 

I’m looking to interview musicians of any description over the age of 18 who may relate to this topic. I’m keen to have respondents from many different cultural, social and musical backgrounds. 

If you yourself are interested or if you know anyone that would be interested to participate please send this email on. 

This link to the initial questionnaire which takes 5 mins to complete: https://ddffu5e2czc.typeform.com/to/qeV4Qmxo 

This is inspired by my own upbringing in a Caribbean household and learning how to play music by ear though gospel music at church whilst learning piano and violin in the Western Art tradition. That being said, I aim to keep my personal experiences separated from the research itself. 

Thank you for your help and best wishes, 

Mahaliah Edwards

The questionnaire is brief. While there's no hard deadline to answer it, if you can, do it as soon as possible. That will help advance the research on this very interesting topic!
