Abstract

Do emotional responses to music and the way we use it stay stable throughout our lives? This chapter examines the trajectory of music preferences across the life course and the role of memory, particularly of adolescence and early adulthood, in shaping our music choices. Our musical experiences—rehearsing, performing, listening to music—can be hugely transformative personal events that merge later in life, providing opportunities for reminiscence and life review. Much of our lifelong musical preferences may be moulded by these vivid memories encoded in the early stages of our life. However, as demonstrated in this chapter, changes to auditory perception as we mature also influence the music we listen to over the course of our lives.
