In this qualitative case study, we used participant observation and interviews to examine Violet, a Flemish string youth orchestra. In doing so, we identify the qualities that constitute an ‘eclectic’ ensemble space, herein defined as a musical environment that uses a blend of informal and formal learning practices. Moreover, we emphasize how members benefit musically, socially, and personally from such spaces. Our findings suggest that a blend of eclectic practices create a music space that promotes social engagement, social interaction, and peer learning among members. Additionally, eclectic music spaces allow for personal development and nurture self-appreciation. An eclectic ensemble space thus provides a rich alternative to more traditional forms of music ensemble instruction.

紫罗兰色体验：通过不拘一格的音乐学习实践进行社交互动

在这个定性案例研究中，我们使用参与者观察和访谈来检查佛兰芒青年弦乐乐团 Violet。在此过程中，我们确定了构成“不拘一格”合奏空间的品质，这里将其定义为融合了非正式和正式学习实践的音乐环境。此外，我们强调会员如何从这些空间中获得音乐、社交和个人利益。我们的研究结果表明，不拘一格的实践的融合创造了一个促进成员之间的社会参与、社会互动和同伴学习的音乐空间。此外，不拘一格的音乐空间允许个人发展和培养自我欣赏。因此，不拘一格的合奏空间为更传统的音乐合奏教学形式提供了丰富的选择。
