Musical imagination and creativity are amongst the most abstract
and complex aspects of musical behaviour, though, until recently,
they have been difficult to subject to empirical enquiry. However,
music psychology and some allied disciplines have now developed,
both theoretically and methodologically, to the point where some of
these topics are now firmly within our grasp. The study of
creativity and imagination is growing rapidly in disciplines
including psychology, sociology, neuroscience, and education. The
inter- and multidisciplinary study of music, and developments in
music psychology in particular, mean that studies of musical
imagination and creativity in action are now distinctly possible
'Musical Imaginations' is a wide ranging, multidisciplinary review
of the latest theory and research on musical creativity,
performance and perception by some of the most eminent scholars in
their respective disciplines. The topics addressed in this book
include the investigation of creativity and imagination in music
and emotion, composition and improvisation, performance and
performance traditions, listening strategies, different musical
genres and cultural belief systems, social collaboration, identity
formation, and the development of psychologically-based strategies
and interventions for the enhancement of performing musicians. With
creativity now a topic of significant interest, this book will be
valuable to all those in the fields of psychology, sociology,
neuroscience, education, as well as to musicians themselves -
dealing with practical as well as theoretical issues in music
therapy, performance and education. The study of creativity and
imagination is growing rapidly in disciplines including psychology,
sociology, neuroscience, and education. The inter- and
multidisciplinary study of music, and developments in music
psychology in particular, mean that studies of musical imagination
and creativity in action are now distinctly possible. This book
undertakes a multidisciplinary review of these developments. It
contains a wide range of contributions by some of the most eminent
scholars in their respective disciplines, representing a
comprehensive account of the state of the art of theory and
research on musical creativity, performance and perception.
