I found the Music Psychology course to be quite interesting, with a good balance of theoretical and practical aspects. As a student from France, I appreciated the international perspective and the diversity of examples and case studies. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, with clear explanations and concise summaries. I liked the fact that the instructors encouraged us to share our own experiences and insights, which made the learning process more engaging and interactive. One area for improvement could be the addition of more advanced topics, such as music and neuroscience, which would have been fascinating to explore in more depth. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to those looking for a solid introduction to music psychology.

I enrolled in the Music Psychology course at Stanmore School of Business with a clear goal in mind: to gain a deeper understanding of how music can be used therapeutically. I'm pleased to say that the course met my expectations, providing me with a comprehensive overview of the field and its applications. The course materials were well-researched and up-to-date, with a good balance of theoretical foundations and practical examples. I appreciated the emphasis on cultural diversity and the importance of considering individual differences in music preferences and responses. One aspect that could be improved is the inclusion of more African case studies and examples, which would have made the course more relevant to my local context. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to anyone interested in music psychology, particularly those working in healthcare or education.
