While musical experiences take up our personal and cultural history through the habit body, musical experiences are nevertheless also deeply social. In this chapter I discuss the role of other people in shaping our musical experiences on three levels. First, I consider the way that others can provide gestural leadership for our listening practices, enabling us to appreciate music that does not immediately speak to our existing habit bodies. Second, I examine accounts that see music itself as akin to another person which suggests that it is through empathy that we understand music. Lastly, I try to articulate the sense of belonging that often accompanies collective musical experiences using Merleau-Ponty’s account of the body schema as a way of theorizing we-experiences that occur through sharing time.
