Music and the Mind Assessment – Real World Applications
Choose ONE of the following scenarios:
A well-known shopping chain approaches you to ask for advice about whether they should use music in their stores and if so, which music and why.Write an evidenced-based report for the senior management team.
A dementia charity runs a regular music group but wants to promote their activities to carers through an information booklet which explains why music can be useful in this context. You are asked to provide the material for the booklet (you may provide accompanying notes if you wish so long as you stay within the word limit).
You have been asked to write a piece for a music magazine that explores and discusses the music psychology of either (a) a national anthem, (b) a religious piece of music, or (c) a culture-specific folk song.
Design a piece of experimental research to explore something about how young children learn, understand or respond to music. You should make the experiment as specific as possible, stating your hypothesis and providing a rationale.
