This volume explores the active role these functions play in how music makes us feel; exhilarated, soothed, or inspired. Grounded in the latest research in areas of psychology, biology, and cognitive neuroscience, and with clear examples throughout, this book concentrates on underappreciated musical skills such as sense of rhythm, beat induction, and relative pitch, that make people intrinsically musical creatures — supporting the conviction that all humans have a unique, instinctive attraction to music.
"Insights from one of the leading researchers working at the intersection of music, psychology, and computer science."
Dan Levitin, author of This is your brain on music
"A graceful and precise introduction into the intricacy of what ordinary humans manage to learn about music, naturally and automatically, just by listening."
Gary Marcus, author of Guitar Zero
"Honing demonstrates that ordinary listeners, whether children or adults, are a lot more musically savvy than they think they are."
Sandra Trehub, Department of Psychology, University of Toronto
Last semester we finalized a new edition of the course Evolution of Language and Music. As every year, we closed it off with a student mini-conference. You can find the output of this years online edition here: a website full of blog posts and pitch videos that were made by the participating students.
N.B. The next edition will be held in the Spring of 2022 (See UvA Studiegids).
"Geen groot sexy onderwerp, maar ontzettend belangrijk."Hoe enthusiast ook, Asscher is natuurlijk niet de eerste die dit voorstelt. Het kabinet (van Engelshoven, D66) werkt inmiddels hard aan een cultuurnota, waarin een paragraaf over het muziekonderwijs vast niet ontbreekt (zie tijdspad OCW).
