鈥滱longside my teaching, I am active as a freelance musician and have been conducting artistic research at Lule氓 University of Technology since 2020. In my work 鈥淭he process of Interpretation through literary texts/pedagogical approaches to more conscious artistic processes of interpretation finding,鈥 I explore how an interpreter within Western art music can make conscious the interpretation process of a musical work by using various metaphorical concepts. The background to my research is driven by a curiosity to create a tool that helps me and my students reflect more deeply on musical interpretation. This is for widening interpretative frameworks and enlivening music, in line with learning objectives in our bachelor program for musicians. My study also contributes to developing forms for teaching higher music education. Here, artistic and pedagogical research disciplines also meet as I study how literary texts can be used to promote teaching musical interpretation.鈥
