- Opis:
- In today’s reality, music is ubiquitous. It accompanies us in many places every day, providing a variety of aesthetic experiences, completely absorbing our attention or merely providing the background of our actions. We listen to music when alone, at school, in communities, in peer groups, at home or during music festivals. Often we are the creators ourselves: we sing, we play instruments, we improvise in groups, we compose. Music undoubtedly has a great influence on human beings – both adults and children; on their psyche, emotions and behavior. These mechanisms are investigated by psychology – the discipline that analyzes the origins and course of mental processes, and their influence on the behavior of the individual and his or her relationships with the environment. The mutual penetration of these two areas has been conducive to studying the influence of music on the human being. For a dozen or so years we have witnessed a dynamically developing branch of psychology, the psychology of music. It provides not only explanations concerning human needs satisfied by the world of musical sounds, but also tries to describe these mechanisms in the broadest possible perspective: neuropsychological, cognitive, emotional, or social. The psychology of music is concerned not only with theoretical investigations but also comes to the rescue in situations of paralyzing stage fright that affects many musicians. It not only tries to explain the biological basis of musical cognition, but also provides a wide range of practical implications for the harmonious musical development of the child in an atmosphere of creativity, safety, and encouragement but also mobilizing motivation. The following publication is the result of the mutual inspiration of the musical world and human psychology. The monograph entitled Music & Psychology is the third in the series of International Aspects of Music Education published by the Academy of Music in Gdansk Publishing House. We would like to thank the authors for their professional contributions. We are very glad to have such a distinguished body of contributors. Very special thanks go to the reviewers – we warmly thank you for your cooperation, understanding, and helpful opinions. Many thanks to the authorities of The Stanislaw Moniuszko Academy of Music in Gdansk and its president, Professor Maciej Sobczak.
