Overview
"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."

Reviews
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 *
