This review is from: Learn With the Classics: Using Music To Study Smart at Any Age (Paperback)

During the years, from the early 90's, of running my own small retail store, aptly called The Brain Resource, I often use this book to help my customers in selecting ambient music pieces for their learning environments.

This book is actually the first-of-its-kind, step-by-step guide to using the world's greatest musical masterworks for learning of all types, for teaching, & for corporate training as well as for professional development.

In this well-written book, the authors share twelve powerful learning strategies. It has also a companion music CD sampler of beautiful, scientifically selected Baroque as well as Classical era pieces.

In a nut shell, 'Learn with the Classics' is jam-packed with solid information on how the brain works, how music affects the brain & learning, & how to put that information to practical use.

Judging from my customers' feedback, I have found that it is an essential tool for all those who want to learn comprehensively, rapidly, & without stress. It is also a valuable resource for teachers, trainers, & parents (highly useful for home schooling parents!). Also, I would like to add that the powerful strategies are easy to implement & really effective.

If you wonder about the following questions, 'Learn with the Classics' is definitely the resource that will finally provide all the answers you need:

- Why should I use music for learning?
- How do I use Baroque and classical music for learning? For teaching? For training?
- How can I use it on the job, for professional development, and for lifelong learning?
- How can I use music to help my child overcome the fear of learning and make it fun and exciting?
- How can I use music to improve my memory? Can it help me retain large amounts of information for school? For my job?
- How do I choose the music? What music do I choose for specific learning activities?

Highly recommended for understanding the mechanics of creating a brain-friendly & conducive environment for studying &/or working!!!
