My approach to this PhD project is rooted in the intersection of social identity and positive psychology frameworks. I believe the former would beuseful to investigate questions of power and identity by exploring how choir members define their place in society and within choir environments.Moreover, aspects of music interaction, such as synchronisation and musical expression, might predict or even impact participants' sense ofbelonging. In order to address these topics, I plan to use a mix of qualitative methods such as focus groups, interviews, workshops andobservations, and quantitative methods such as surveys and video analysis. These methods could provide new insights around social and musicalaspects of choir models that affect participant's sense of belonging, identity and empowerment. The latter framework could be used to better explore how different models of choir organisation impact participant's wellbeing. More specifically, itwould be possible to explore models of choir organisation and their correlation with participant's perceived positive emotions, engagement, socialrelationships, sense of meaning and sense of achievement. Similarly to the former approach, I plan to use mixed-methods to explore wellbeingoutcomes. Moreover, I believe that taking a participatory approach is fundamental to achieve the goals of this PhD project. It will allow participantsto become an integral part of the research process, rather than merely objects of investigation. Also, this approach aligns with CWNN's newinclusive model of choir cho-production. For this reason, I am aware that these methods might be adapted according to the project's development. This PhD program aligns with my long-term career goals and ambitions as I am interested in pursuing a career in research. After being involved inprojects about the contributions of the arts to vulnerable communities, I am interested in focusing on the specific impacts of music interactions tothe same populations.I believe this PhD program is the perfect opportunity to achieve these goals while working with outstanding researchers andprofessionals, and contributing to cutting-edge research.

我做这个博士项目的方法植根于社会认同和积极心理学框架的交叉。我相信，通过探索合唱团成员如何在社会和合唱团环境中定义自己的位置，前者将有助于调查权力和身份问题。此外，音乐互动的一些方面，如同步和音乐表达，可能会预测甚至影响参与者的归属感。为了解决这些问题，我计划混合使用定性方法，如焦点小组、访谈、研讨会和观察，以及定量方法，如调查和视频分析。这些方法可以为合唱团模式的社会和音乐方面提供新的见解，这些方面会影响参与者的归属感、认同感和赋权感。后一个框架可以用来更好地探索不同模式的合唱团组织如何影响参与者的福祉。更具体地说，有可能探索合唱团组织模式及其与参与者感知到的积极情绪、参与、社会关系、意义感和成就感的相关性。与前一种方法类似，我计划使用混合方法来探索福祉结果。此外，我认为采取参与式的方法是实现这个博士项目目标的基础。它将使参与者成为研究过程中不可或缺的一部分，而不仅仅是调查对象。此外，这种方法与CWNN合唱团制作的新包容性模式保持一致。因此，我知道这些方法可能会根据项目的发展进行调整。这个博士课程符合我的长期职业目标和抱负，因为我有兴趣从事研究工作。在参与了有关艺术对弱势群体的贡献的项目之后，我对音乐互动对相同人群的具体影响感兴趣。我相信这个博士课程是实现这些目标的绝佳机会，同时与优秀的研究人员和专业人士合作，并为前沿研究做出贡献。
