Course description
Music psychology involves the scientific study of how people think, feel and behave in relation to music. How and why people engage with music will be explored from different fundamental psychological perspectives including perception, emotion, thought, development, learning, and social processes. Prominent themes examined through the course include music performance, music learning, and music in everyday life. You will be active in developing and co-creating knowledge through participatory experiences in music psychology research and research process.
