A Well-Tempered Mind by Peter Perret
Using the details of an innovative music education program for elementary school students, this book investigates the connection between music education and brain development in children. It also explains the research that focuses on how music engages the brain's cognitive capabilities, from memory and language to emotional processing.
"The authors put flesh on the feeling shared by all music teachers that the experience of music enhances thought and learning in unexpected directions, well beyond the simple act of enjoying the soundIt's exciting and necessary reading for all who are battling to ensure the place of music in the school curriculum." - Times Educational Supplement"
