Dear List, Last week I posted to the list about the upcoming music cognition meeting in August (abstract deadline Feb 1): http://music.iupui.edu/smpc2009/ I forgot to mention that some of you may be interested in the newly published Oxford Handbook of Music Psychology (edited by Hallam, Cross, and Thaut): http://www.us.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Psychology/CognitivePsychology/?view=usa&view=usa&ci=9780199298457 This book has a remarkable range, with 52 chapters divided into 11 sections: - the origins and functions of music - music perception - responses to music - music and the brain - musical development - learning musical skills - musical performance - composition and improvisation - the role of music in our everyday lives - music therapy - conceptual frameworks, research methods, and future directions Note that a 20% discount is available at this website: http://www.oup.co.uk/sale/amohmp09/ This book, plus Bill Thompson's recent textbook on music cognition ("Music, Thought, and Feeling"), provide wonderful new resources for teaching and research in music cognition.
