MUS 224 - Music Cognition

Why does music make us feel? How do composers and performers utilize certain musical elements to create music that evokes different emotions and moods? This course examines literature in the fields of music cognition, music theory, psychology, and adjacent fields to explore how we listen to and process music, and how music can be used in various contexts to evoke both positive and negative emotions.
