Wc describe a hybrid system to model context formulation and resulting expectations created by a listener while attending to tonal music. The model is hybrid in that we use modular sub-networks to simulate the distinct yet mutually influential schemas involved in constructing expectations for sequential events and the temporal cyclical grid that creates metrical support for these expectations. Using a unified neurosymbolic approach wc visualize the fluctuations of musical expectations that arise as a consequence of the dynamically changing musical context.
