Abstract
In recent years, music therapy has been focused on as a method to cure patients who have a physical or mental illness. Music therapy is a kind of musical communication between a patient and a therapist. Clarifying the mechanism of musical communication is the effective way to conduct this type of therapy. In this study, an ensemble performance was analyzed with musical and respiration rhythms using a dual task method to clarify the mechanism. The results showed that there was no effect of a subtask on musical and respiration rhythms in playing simple music. However, when playing complex music, musical and respiration rhythms were changed by a subtask. From these results, we proposed a hierarchal communication model of an ensemble performance.
