: I'm looking for information (books, articles) on music psychology. How people perceive tonality, the need to resolve the leading tone for example. Responses to emotion in music. And whether all that is nature or nurutre. I need information in layperson terms.
Hello,
Information in layperson terms? I'm not sure if these texts will match up with your expectations but here are 3 possibilities, all from Oxford University Press:
1. Ways of Listening: An Ecological Approach to the Perception of Musical Meaning, Eric F. Clarke
2. Music and Emotion, Patrik N. Juslin
3. Exploring the Musical Mind: Cognition, Emotion, Ability, Function, John Sloboda
