How do our personalities determine the kinds of music we enjoy, and how do they mold our aptitudes for playing different kinds of instruments? In this fascinating book, A.E. Kemp applies his exceptional knowledge of personality theory to this widely debated question and issues the first detailed assessment of the psychology of music as an expression of our innate individuality. Kemp's engaging account will be rewarding to all music lovers, as well as to psychologists, professional musicians and composers, and music educators.Reviews
"Overall, this reviewer finds little to criticize in Kemp's book, and much to praise."--Notes
