The field of Music Psychology has grown dramatically in the past 20
years, to emerge from being just a minor topic to one of mainstream
interest within the brain sciences. However, until now, there has been
no comprehensive reference text in the field. The Oxford Handbook of
Music Psychology is a landmark text providing, for the first time
ever, a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in this
fast-growing area of research. With contributions from over fifty
experts in the field, the range and depth of coverage is unequalled.
All the chapters combine a solid review of the relevant literature
with well-reasoned arguments and robust discussions of the major
findings, as well as original insights and suggestions for future
work. Written by leading experts, the 52 chapters are divided into 11
sections covering both experimental and theoretical perspectives, each
edited by an internationally recognised authority Ten sections each
present chapters that focus on specific areas of music psychology: -
the origins and functions of music - music perception - responses to
music - music and the brain - musical development - learning musical
skills - musical performance - composition and improvisation - the
role of music in our everyday lives - music therapy and conceptual
frameworks In each section, expert authors critically review the
literature, highlight current issues, and explore possibilities for
the future. The final section examines how in recent years the study
of music psychology has broadened to include a range of other
scientific disciplines. It considers the way that the research has
developed in relation to technological advances, fostering links
across the field and providing an overview of the areas where the
field needs further development in the future. The Oxford Handbook of
Music Psychology will be the essential reference text for students and
researchers across psychology and neuroscience.
