Music, Thought, and Feeling by William Forde Thompson
Examining the intersection of music, psychology, and neuroscience, Music, Thought, and Feeling, Second Edition, surveys the rapidly growing field of music cognition and explores its most interesting questions. Assuming minimal background in music or psychology, the book begins with an overview of the major theories on how and when music became a widespread aspect of human behavior. Now in its second edition, the text includes enhanced coverage of music therapy, the most recent theory and research, and improved pedagogy, including enhanced definitions of key terms and a reworked organization of topics.
"A fascinating, accessible, and comprehensive examination of the rapidly expanding field of music psychology by a leading researcher who has participated in its development for the past thirty yearsFrom discussions that span the evolutionary basis of music, examinations of musical disorders, uses of music in therapy, and frank assessments of the potential benefits of music training for nonmusical skills such as reading and mathematics, Music, Thought, and Feeling is certain to inspire renewed passion about this exciting field."--Daniel Levitin, McGill University, author of This Is Your Brain on Music"This exploration of music and emotion is the most extensive I have ever read"--Barbara J. Crowe, Arizona State University"Music, Thought, and Feeling is easy to read. I like the "learning outcomes" at the beginning of each chapter."--Elizabeth W. Marvin, Eastman School of Music
