Don Campbell is the dean of sound healers. His work is of inestimable value. Practical, mystical and visionary, he makes the world of music accessible, friendly and profoundly healing. (Julia Cameron)
'Intelligent, informed, and practical, Don is an excellent guide to the wide-ranging power of music to inspire, educate, and heal. The Mozart Effect could add a universe to the world you've been living in. (Thomas Moore)
' Campbell reveals how music is one of the most transformative forces in human experience - how it literally has life-and-death potency. Read this book. You may never hear music the same way again.' (Larry Dossey)
'Don Campbell has written a fascinating and informative book - a tuning fork for our times.' (Clarissa Pinkola Estes)

With a subtitle of Tapping the Power of Music to Heal the Body, Strengthen the Mind, and Unlock the Creative Spirit, the casual reader might jokingly ask if the book could also improve chances for world peace, bring free and open elections to third world countries, and give your wash whiter whites and brighter brights. Don Campbell's premise is, however, reasonably straightforward: he asserts that the kind of noise to which one is exposed can have important effects on mental and bodily health. As a trial, try protecting your hearing for a few days from the continuous barrage of noise in a typical urban environment; it really does seem to improve one's attitude and fatigue levels.
Where Campbell's ideas become more provocative is in the realm of music. Supported by much anecdotal evidence, he proposes that Classical music with a big "C" (the music of Mozart's period) can reach out to those who are mentally isolated from their fellows, like the autistic, and can help infants react and think better. (Will prenatal music classes be the next big trend for yuppie babies?) In addition, the music of Mozart contributes to the improved functioning of the higher cerebellar functions, including the ability to deal with logical and mathematical concepts, while contemporary rock actually decreases mental acuity.
Don Campbell is the world's foremost educator on the connection between music and healing. He trained as a classical musician with Nadia Boulanger in France. In 1988 he founded the Institute of Music, Health, and Education, and he frequently lectures at universities, at music organisations, at Omega and Esalen, to corporate managers, and to health care professionals. He lives in Boulder, Colorado, USA.
