It is fortunate that a new generation of students and scholars will be able to benefit from the well-documented, evidence-based discussions of so many issues critical to the study of musical experience. I could imagine this book serving as a text for a number of different sorts of undergraduate and graduate courses in music- and psychology-related disciplines. * Peter Miksza, Professor of Music Education, Indiana University Jacobs School of Music *
