The second part discusses the various theories and models of music perception and cognition, including the Gestalt theory, the information processing model, and the ecological theory. The third part of the book focuses on the practical applications of the psychology of music, including the use of music in therapy, education, and advertising. The author also explores the role of music in social and cultural contexts, including its use in religious rituals, political events, and popular culture.
