Learn moreAnyone who has ever seen a two-year-old start bouncing to a beat knows that music speaks to us on a very deep level. But it took celebrated teacher and music visionary Don Campbell to show us just how deep, with his landmark book The Mozart Effect.
Stimulating, authoritative, and often lyrical, The Mozart Effect has a simple but life-changing message: music is medicine for the body, the mind, and the soul. Campbell shows how modern science has begun to confirm this ancient wisdom, finding evidence that listening to certain types of music can improve the quality of life in almost every respect. Here are dramatic accounts of how music is used to deal with everything from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia, and even mental illness.
Always clear and compelling, Campbell recommends more than two dozen specific, easy-to-follow exercises to raise your spatial IQ, "sound away" pain, boost creativity, and make the spirit sing!
Don Campbell founded the Institute for Music, Health, and Education in 1988. Known as the "godfather of sound", he frequently lectures at universities, music organizations, at Omega and Esalen and to health professionals. In April 1996, he was Conference Host for "Awakening the Soul", a three-day symposium with presentations by Robert Bly, Maya Angelou, and Matthew Fox. He trained as a classical musician at the Fontainebleau Conservatory of Music in France. He lives in Boulder, Colorado.
