Listening Models
Passive Listening;
This is when you listen without doing anything or interrupting. In music it would be when you're listening to music but its not your main focus. When you listen to music while you do house work this would be seen as passive listening.
Active Listening;
This is when you listen with full concentration and you are responding to what you hear. If you sit down and listen to a LP start to end this would be seen as active listening because you are digesting the album and seeing it as a work of art that will trigger a response inside of you.
Empathetic Listening;
This Is when you listen and respond in a way this builds understanding and trust. In music this could be seen as a concert or club night as you are listening to the artist and responding as a crowd through cheering, crying ect. ect.
Critical Listening;
This is when you're listening an making judgements at the same time. In music this can be applied to the making of a track because most of the time you're making decisions of what sounds good and what doesn't on the spot. When you're mixing a track you use critical listening because you have to listen intensely and make small changes.
