| Abstract | This new book brings together 24 selected essays and reviews written by an internationally acclaimed authority on music and the mind. Chapters are grouped into four main areas of study: cognitive processes (including music reading, memory, and performance); emotion and motivation; talent and skill development; and music in the real world (including functions of music in everyday life and culture). The book ends with a newly written chapter on music psychology and social benefits. The book brings together a range of influential writings to provide a compendious overview of a subject that has come to maturity during the author's career, a career that has significantly contributed to the development of the field. |
