音樂心理學是一門跨學科的心理學學科，主要研究通過心理功能來詮釋音樂。這種解釋通過感知、記憶、創造、表演和對音樂的反應，導致了音樂的特性。特別地，這本書通過討論不同的聲音特征，如響度、音高和音色，以及這些屬性之間的相互作用，提供了對音樂音調感知的概述。通過計算機建模，探討了計算機資源對音樂心理研究的影響。在此基礎上，建立了音高感知、分組、語音分離和諧波分析模型。本書進一步討論了音樂在社會和情感環境中的發展，并提出了音樂訓練可以提高個人歌唱能力的方法。本書可作為感性和認知心理學家、神經科學家和音樂家的參考資料。也可作為音樂心理學高級課程的教材。

The Psychology of Music serves as an introduction to an interdisciplinary field in psychology, which focuses on the interpretation of music through mental function. This interpretation leads to the characterization of music through perceiving, remembering, creating, performing, and responding to music. In particular, the book provides an overview of the perception of musical tones by discussing different sound characteristics, like loudness, pitch and timbre, together with interaction between these attributes. It also discusses the effect of computer resources on the psychological study of music through computational modeling. In this way, models of pitch perception, grouping and voice separation, and harmonic analysis were developed. The book further discusses musical development in social and emotional contexts, and it presents ways that music training can enhance the singing ability of an individual. The book can be used as a reference source for perceptual and cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, and musicians. It can also serve as a textbook for advanced courses in the psychological study of music.
