Musical Bodies, Musical Minds also considers the important practical implications of this approach for music education and everyday life. In doing so, it provides alternative ways of thinking about musical perception, the development of musicality in infancy, its emergence in human evolution, as well as the nature of musical emotions and musical creativity. This approach highlights the situated, distributed, and corporeal dimensions of the musical mind. It explores musical cognition as a form of embodied ‘sense-making’ that is central to the ways living agents interact with the socio-material environments they inhabit and actively shape. The ‘enactive’ approach developed in Musical Bodies, Musical Minds offers a radically different perspective. Accordingly, musical cognition is often thought to involve internal neural mechanisms acting in response to external events – a causally linear process that entails the internal (in-the-head) representational recovery of an external musical environment.

Traditionally, the study of the musical mind has been guided by a perspective that sees cognition as information-processing confined to the brain of the perceiver. Musical Bodies, Musical Minds presents a fascinating new approach to human musicality based on recent developments in embodied cognitive science.
