As a scientific discipline, music psychology can look back on a history of over 140 years. The yearbook combines musicological, psychological, sociological, pedagogical, and media-scientific research with works from related disciplines and thus bundles different perspectives on the phenomenon of 'music'.

As an open publication forum between psychology and musicology, not only addresses specialists from sub-disciplines but also a broad readership beyond the boundaries of the disciplines who are interested in empirical music research and fundamental questions of access to music.

Together with additional reviews and conference reports, the contributions have now been published as a book by Waxmann, Münster.
