Music Cognition: The Basics by Henkjan Honing

Why do people attach importance to the wordless language we call music? Music Cognition: The Basics considers the role of our cognitive functions such as perception, memory, attention, and expectation in perceiving, making, and appreciating music.

"Insights from one of the leading researchers working at the intersection of music, psychology, and computer science"

Dan Levitin, author of This is your brain on music

"A graceful and precise introduction into the intricacy of what ordinary humans manage to learn about music, naturally and automatically, just by listening."

Gary Marcus, author of Guitar Zero

"Honing demonstrates that ordinary listeners, whether children or adults, are a lot more musically savvy than they think they are."

Sandra Trehub, Department of Psychology, University of Toronto

Henkjan Honing is professor of Music Cognition at both the faculty of Humanities and Faculty of Science at the University of Amsterdam and member elect of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
