Psychology of Music

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): John Booth Davies

What happens when we listen to music? Why are certain forms pleasing and others not? John Davies was both a psychologist and a talented musician and The Psychology of Music, originally published in 1978, explores the nature of man’s eternal need for, and love of, music. Drawing on current research in psychology and social psychology at the time, he explores the processes beneath this love affair in an easy and fluent style liberally punctuated with amusing and, occasionally, startling examples.

About John Booth Davies

John Booth Davies (1944–2017) Emeritus Professor was both a psychologist and a talented musician.

He made significant and lasting contributions to each of the diverse fields that took his interest throughout his career. The Psychology of Music was his first book, largely dealing with the cognitive psychology of music, he went on to publish books challenging the dominant way in which addiction is understood.
