Activity Theory & Musical performance

Hello!

I’m a professional musician (clarinet) and student in philosophy. I’m currently writing my thesis, the title of which is: “The musical instrument as an extension of the musician’s body & mind”.

Activity Theory seems to me an interesting instrument to do my research. Although I can find some (not much) literature on learning to play a musical instrument, little research has been done (seems to me because of the lack in articles) to the actual performing music on stage.

So, still looking for some literature(on AT & musical performance, on At alone I’ve read a lot), I wonder if someone has some suggestions?

Thanks!

Greetings,
Luc
