Course content

This is an advanced but broadly based course focusing on musical experiences in different contexts, containing elements of music perception, music and emotions, music and motion, as well as music in different social contexts. The course will give the students an overview of relevant research within these fields, and also enable them to plan and carry out a variety of research projects related to the experience of music.

Learning outcome

On successful completion of the course, the students will:

  • have an overview of recent research on musical perception
  • be familiar with the way in which elements of music theory such as the perception of timbre and pitch, rhythm, texture, tonality, modality, and harmony are based in music psychology
  • be familiar with the way in which the interplay between sound, motion and visual perception contributes to musical experiences
  • be familiar with the connection between music, motion, and emotion
