In recent years, a psychological perspective has gained increasing
acceptance in the education provided to musicians: teachers,
performers, and "creatives" alike. Research in music psychology has
revealed how musicians acquire the ability to convey emotional
intentions as sounded music, how listeners perceive it as feelings
and moods, and how this powerful process relates to social and
cultural dynamics. Of course, people who identify as musicians have
special interest in these matters. A well-cited volume ever since
its initial publication in 2007, Psychology for Musicians is now
brought up-to-date in a second edition, particularly in expanding
outside the exclusive context of Western formal/academic settings.
This new edition draws on insights from recent research in music
psychology, combining academic rigor with accessibility to offer
readers research-supported ideas that they can readily apply in
their musical activities.
Nobody is born a musician. Rather, people become musical. They do
so through the right experiences as children, and with the right
kind of support from the adults in their lives. Most teachers and
parents believe that music can be a powerful a gift to kids.
Ideally it becomes a lifelong gift, rather than merely a pastime of
childhood to be reminisced about later. Unfortunately, not all
music educational experiences produce a lasting musicianship. This
book shares how learning experiences can be made more relevant,
practical, and real world for young people studying music. With
such experiences, kids can be on their way to becoming real
musicians, defined as people whose musical skills allow them to
leading musically active lives, whether music making is their
profession or a personally-fulfilling part of their leisure time.
