Frank Pub. If you want your child to excel in science and math read this book. "The author cites scientific evidence showing that the study of a musical instrument helps to develop strong neuronal connections to enhance brain function. She cites studies from such scholars as Arnold Scheibel, Gerald Edelman, Oliver Sacks, Alfred Tomatis, and others. As a classroom teacher for 26 years, I see that children who have musical training have an advantage by being able to concentrate better and demonstrate good study skills." - Jeanne Golner "She points out that philosophers such as Albert Schweitzer and Albert Einstein believed music helped them to think better. She surveys several different sets of test results that show scores are higher among students who played musical instruments." David Nicholson, The Daily Press and Times Herald "Superb and absolutely fascinating." Jo Ann Faletta, Conductor of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.
