Musical novices perform with equal accuracy when learning to drum alone or with a peer

Abstract The capacity of expert musicians to coordinate with each other when playing in ensembles or rehearsing has been widely investigated. However, little is known about the ability of novices to achieve satisfactory coordinated behaviour when making music together. We tested whether performance...
