…a concise summary…which has been selected for its relevance to music educators... --British Journal of Music Education, 2007
Hallam has amassed a wealth of literature, which she summarizes with admirable succinctness, drawing useful parallels between research in education and music psychology. Aiming for breadth rather than depth, she does not provide detailed critiques of specific studies. Nevertheless, the implications for educators that conclude each chapter contain a powerful argument based on the evidence: music is vital to human beings, influencing mood, emotion and arousal from infancy; the purpose of music education should be to ensure that all children are motivated to enjoy and engage with music throughout the lifespan, via listening, composing, improvising and performing. Overall, the book makes a strong case for the use of psychological research in music education and amply fulfils its purpose of sketching the current landscape, making practical suggestions and directing the reader to richer sources of information. --Jane Ginsborg, Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester: Book Review in Psychology of Music 2007
