Music psychology asks questions about music cognition and behaviour: Why can music move us to tears or to feelings of ecstasy? What is the relation between music, sex and cheescake? Can music make you smarter, and what is the Mozart Effect? Why do some tunes get stuck in your head? At what age do we first hear music? These and related questions are addressed through examination of music psychology and education, and the critical evaluation of the student's own musical tastes, preferences, beliefs and behaviours. Students will develop a critical understanding of music they listen to every day, and gain insights into what it is like to be a musician.
