Talk:Music cognition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Music cognition is within the scope of WikiProject Music, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to music. If you would like to participate, you can choose to edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks.

The part on accessibility is utter nonsense. Professor Fred Lerdahl simply says that serial music is composed in a way that is incompatible with the way the human mind extracts information from music. Accessibility has nothing to do with this. As a result, I deleted this part. It was written poorly and does not contribute to the article.

This article is pitifully small. I wish someone would recruit an expert to add more to it. It is a really great field, and deserves much more attention.

Suggestions for things to add.

A brief description of the methodology employed in music cognition. (e.g. Preference rules)

Information on Eugene Narmour's, Fred Lerdahl's, etc work.

I'm not sure how relevant this is, but I'm having trouble differentiating between psychoacoustics, Musical acoustics, and Music Cognition from their respect articles. Should something be written about this in the articles? Perhaps someone can someone simply respond to this comment at least? =)
