Abstract | This chapter presents a rationale for researchers to consider in making a choice of whether to use quantitative techniques in their research. The use of such approaches opens many options that may not have been considered – the options of exploring previously unexplored research questions in established areas of investigation, of communicating with previously uninvolved audiences or of gaining insights into unchartered territories in music research. Such approaches have the potential to widen the profile of music as a discipline, demonstrating its known and also often unknown contributions to society. |
