Description
The aim of the psychology of music is to understand musical phenomena in terms of mental functions--to characterize the ways in which
one perceives, remembers, creates, and performs music. Since the First Edition of The Psychology of Music was published
the field has emerged from an interdisciplinary curiosity into a fully ramified subdiscipline of psychology due to several factors. The
opportunity to generate, analyze, and transform sounds by computer is no longer limited to a few researchers with access to large multi-user
facilities, but rather is available to individual investigators on a widespread basis. Second, dramatic advances in the field of neuroscience
have profoundly influenced thinking about the way that music is processed in the brain. Third, collaborations between psychologists and
musicians, which were evolving at the time the First Edition was written, are now quite common; to a large extent now speaking a common
language and agreeing on basic philosophical issues.The Psychology of Music, Second Edition has been completely revised
to bring the reader the most up-to-date information, additional subject matter, and new contributors to incorporate all of these important
variables.
Audience
Musicians; psychologists; students interested in and studying the psychology of music.
