The paper outlines a model composed by two paradigms, the modular and the computational, for the study of music cognition. The main hypothesis is that the notion of modularity can represent a powerful framework for the integration of theoretical assumptions and empirical data in a form which explains their relationships to the distinct perceptual and cognitive stages in music understanding. Several assumptions on the specificity of musical mental processes, basic musical properties and several levels of musical understanding are formulated. Furthermore, the attention is addressed to some methodological problems related to two very different approaches, the implication/realization and the rule based model.
