…these are the books I would read. I have a bad habit of going into the library, either here in the music library or the public library down the street, and picking more books than I could ever read in my sparse amount of spare time. When I first found the Music Psychology section in the library here, I nearly wet myself. So many books about stuff that I’m actually *interested* in, shelves and shelves of them. And then on Friday, I found the Music Therapy section. Let’s just say I was nearly late to class. And nobody could sit in the seat next to me because that’s where my books were sitting. (I prefer not to sit next to anyone, anyway). I managed to show a little restraint and only check out what I knew I could get home on the bus, so at least there’s that. I am so incredibly interested in the processes and interactions of music and emotions. I know they’re linked. Music wouldn’t be music without the emotions that they evoke. I have a whole host of hypotheses that I want to research and work with someday regarding the ideas, but these books are all I can do for now.
