^lPsychology for Musicians clearly explains the psychological connection between music and humankind. Each of the 12 chapters concludes with a series of discussion questions well suited for either the classroom or independent study. Updating the first edition, this new version includes a diverse range of musical styles and cultures while offering the most current research on the subject of music psychology. * J. J. Leary-Warsaw, The Catholic University of America, CHOICE * 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 * Robert Woody guides the reader through the wonderfully rich and complex processes of human musicality using the perspective of a musician and the language of a teacher. An essential resource for musicians at every level who are curious about the inner world of musical thought, behavior, and emotion. * Steven Morrison, Professor of Music, Northwestern University *
