Mozart Effect for Children: Awakening Your Child's Mind, Health and Creativity with Music

The Mozart Effect for Children is the right book at the right time; this is the first program for parents and teachers that shows you how to use Mozart and music to unlock your child's creativity and intelligence.

In The Mozart Effect, Don Campbell confirmed for the first time that music has the power to heal not only the soul, but the body as well. The result has been a tidal wave of publicity, extraordinary book sales, and a clamor—especially from parents—for more. Now Don Campbell gives us a specific program that uses music to enhance life for children through the emotionally grounding, intellectually stimulating, and creativity-enhancing effects of rhythm and tone. In this book, Campbell follows a child's life from pre-birth through age 10, demonstrating ways in which music can be used to carve new neural pathways in the brain of the fetus and infants, stimulate language acquisition, prepare the brain for reading, and much more. The book includes music and movement exercises to stimulate children's minds, music "recipes" for helping children internalize a rhythm of thought and mental organization, and recommendations for reducing stress and maintaining family cohesiveness through music.
