This article introduces the notion of
pleasant musical imagery (PMI) for denoting everyday
phenomena where people want to cherish music ‘‘in
their heads.’’ This account differs from current paradigms for studying musical imagery in that it is not
based a priori on (in)voluntariness of the experience.
An empirical investigation of the structure and experiential content in 50 persons’ experiences of PMI applied
the elicitation interview method. Peer judgments of the
interviews helped to bridge a phenomenological investigation of particular experiences with systematic
between-subjects analysis. Both structural features of
the imagery (e.g., Looseness of structure or Looping) and
content features of the imagery (e.g., Embodied evocativeness and Object-directedness) showed significant
associations with participants’ individual characteristics, personality, and/or cognitive style. The approach
taken suggests a new paradigm for studying musical
imagery—one that is based on tracing the interactional
and enactive processes of ‘‘inner listening.’’
