Reviews:
" The Secret of Teaching Science and Math through
Music is an informative and inspiring 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 of twenty six years, I see that children who have
musical training have an advantage by being able to
concentrate better demonstrating good study skills".
-Jeanne Golner
"Musical
Notes on Math," teaches students to enjoy math through
music. Geared to students in grades kindergarten through 5,
the book offers simple musical exercises that help students
learn fractions, decimals and multiplication through rhythm."
