According to research, recognizing patterns in music is a fundamental aspect of how the human mind structures its complex environment. Patterns in music generate expectations as to what course the music will follow, and recognizing these patterns is an important skill that helps facilitate learning new music, sight reading, visualization, and memorization. 

Musical patterns are not simply repetition but one kind of regular alteration of repetition and change. 

Expectations are aroused as a result of patterns. Anticipation means playing a note ahead of the beat it's written on in syncopation, which is often used in popular music to enhance the beat and rhythm. 

Identifying patterns in music gives an advantage when learning a new piece, as understanding that an 8-measure phrase has 3 repeating measures helps simplify learning. 

Musicians and listeners recognize patterns of music differently, but recognizing the content by the pattern of the music affects our emotion. 

Researchers have studied the mechanism that forms the pattern recognition of music and the experience, and various cognitive systems are at work in this recognition of a piece of music and its patterns
