The Routledge Companion to Music Cognition addresses fundamental
questions about the nature of music from a psychological
perspective. Music cognition is presented as the field that
investigates the psychological, physiological, and physical
processes that allow music to take place, seeking to explain how
and why music has such powerful and mysterious effects on us. This
volume provides a comprehensive overview of research in music
cognition, balancing accessibility with depth and sophistication. A
diverse range of global scholars-music theorists, musicologists,
pedagogues, neuroscientists, and psychologists-address the
implications of music in everyday life while broadening the range
of topics in music cognition research, deliberately seeking
connections with the kinds of music and musical experiences that
are meaningful to the population at large but are often overlooked
in the study of music cognition. Such topics include: Music's
impact on physical and emotional health Music cognition in various
genres Music cognition in diverse populations, including people
with amusia and hearing impairment The relationship of music to
learning and accomplishment in academics, sport, and recreation The
broader sociological and anthropological uses of music Consisting
of over forty essays, the volume is organized by five primary
themes. The first section, "Music from the Air to the Brain,"
provides a neuroscientific and theoretical basis for the book. The
next three sections are based on musical actions: "Hearing and
Listening to Music," "Making and Using Music," and "Developing
Musicality." The closing section, "Musical Meanings," returns to
fundamental questions related to music's meaning and significance,
seen from historical and contemporary perspectives. The Routledge
