Kurzbeschreibung

Erscheinungstermin: 4. Dezember 2008 | Reihe: Oxford Library of Psychology

The field of Music Psychology has grown dramatically in the past 20 years, to emerge from being just a minor topic to one of mainstream interest within the brain sciences. However, until now, there has been no comprehensive reference text in the field. The Oxford Handbook of Music Psychology is a landmark text providing, for the first time ever, a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in this fast-growing area of research. With contributions from over fifty experts in the field, the range and depth of coverage is unequalled. All the chapters combine a solid review of the relevant literature with well-reasoned arguments and robust discussions of the major findings, as well as original insights and suggestions for future work.Written by leading experts, the 52 chapters are divided into 11 sections covering both experimental and theoretical perspectives, each edited by an internationally recognised authority Ten sections each present chapters that focus on specific areas of music psychology: - the origins and functions of music - music perception - responses to music - music and the brain - musical development - learning musical skills - musical performance - composition and improvisation - the role of music in our everyday lives - music therapy and conceptual frameworks In each section, expert authors critically review the literature, highlight current issues, and explore possibilities for the future. The final section examines how in recent years the study of music psychology has broadened to include a range of other scientific disciplines. It considers the way that the research has developed in relation to technological advances, fostering links across the field and providing an overview of the areas where the field needs further development in the future. The Oxford Handbook of Music Psychology will be the essential reference text for students and researchers across psychology and neuroscience.

2.0 von 5 Sternen Fair content... horrible value. 16. Oktober 2009

Von Joseph S. O'brian - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon best�tigter Kauf

I bought this book when it was released in February 2009 with great anticipation. After reading "The Social Psychology of Music" by Hargreaves & North, I couldn't wait to start another music psychology text by esteemed authors. Right away though, I noticed the cheapness of the book. Every aspect, from the warping hardcover to the small, double column text, demonstrated the publishing companies capacity for cutting corners and subsidizing production costs. Personally, when I pay over one hundred dollars for a book, regardless of when it was released, I expect it to be of better quality. The other issue with this book pertains to the studies involved in the text. Regardless of the book being one of the most recently published texts on music psychology, most of the studies--at least in the first one hundred pages--were not even from this century. I understand that some studies from the later half of the 20th century will remain landmark studies for years to come, but is asking for a few words about what and where music psychology is going today really so much to ask for? I think not. If you're new to the field of music psychology as I was, do yourself a favor: spend the money on more (but less expensive) books released over the last two decades. Honestly, the content of this book brings nothing new to the table besides a few minute cases, usually supporting older research.

4.0 von 5 Sternen A very academic overview, mixed content, some great, some not 20. Dezember 2009

Von Aaron Wolf - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

This is written by a very large number of authors and edited by a number of editors. A few chapters are almost unreadable and useless. Some chapters are great. Most are good and very informative, although the reading isn't exactly fun. Overall, it is probably the best broad view of the entire scope of music psychology leading up through today. The content could have been more integrated, but it is still a valuable collection. I would not recommend it to casual readers. The chapters on pitch perception and memory are excellent. The chapters on practicing are good. It all adds up to a mixed value. I recommend getting it from the library instead of buying a copy unless you're a serious academic in the field (in which case you don't need my review here).
