Music Psychology is a symbiotic interdiscipline between the fields of music and psychology that is concerned with psychological (and therefore inevitably also touching upon related fields of sociology, anthropology and neuroscience) aspects and effects of music upon human beings.

Research is concerned with such issues as musical emotion, musical memory, the acquisition of musical skills, musical perception, therapeutic uses of music and music education. Musicians, composers and music theorists have become increasingly interested in psychological models as means of better understanding the perception and cognition of musical works.

La psychologie musicale est un domaine interdisciplinaire alliant la musique à la psychologie en étudiant les aspects psychologiques (et donc touchant aussi les champs de la sociologie, de l'anthropologie et des neurosciences) et les effets de la musique sur l'être humain.

La recherche touche des domaines tels que l'étude des émotions musicales, la mémoire, l'acquisition d'une pratique musicale, la perception de la musique, la musicothérapie et l'éducation musicale. Les musiciens, les compositeurs et les théoriciens de la musique s'intéressent de plus en plus aux modèles psychologiques afin de mieux comprendre la perception et les aspects cognitifs d'une œuvre musicale.

La psicologia musicale è un campo interdisciplinare che lega la musica alla psicologia, e studia gli aspetti psicologici (toccando anche i campi della sociologia, dell'antropologia e delle neuroscienze) e gli effetti della musica sull'essere umano.

La ricerca implica vari aspetti come lo studio delle emozioni musicali, la memoria, l'acquisizione di una pratica musicale, la percezione della musica, la musicoterapica, e l'educazione musicale. I musicisti, i compositori e i teorici della musica, infatti, stanno sviluppando un interesse sempre crescente per i modelli psicologici, perché permettono migliorare la comprensione della percezione e degli aspetti cognitivi di un'opera musicale.

La psicología de la música es una interdisciplina simbiótica, ubicada entre los campos de la música y la psicología, que se ocupa de los aspectos psicológicos (y que por lo tanto, toca inevitablemente también áreas de la sociología, la antropología y las neurociencias) y los efectos de la música sobre el ser humano.

La investigación en este campo se ocupa de temas tales como la emoción musical, la memoria musical, la adquisición de habilidades musicales, la percepción musical, los usos terapéuticos de la música y la educación musical. Músicos, compositores y téoricos de la música se han ido interesando cada vez más en los modelos psicológicos como medios para entender mejor la percepción y cognición de las obras musicales.
