Chapters show the reader how to use music to enhance creativity, reduce physical and emotional pain, counter insomnia, relieve anxiety, and much more. From the use of music in surgery and rehabilitation to simply enhancing everyday life, Two CDs and Call Me in the Morning brings a powerful and much-needed message of alternative, inexpensive self-care. Appendices filled the recommended music selections for specific purposes, a host of website resources, vibroacoustic music references and more round this invaluable guide. --James A. Cox, Editor in Chief, The Midwest Book Review, Small Press Bookwatch, October 2007,
I have been espousing Suzanne s theories of how to use music since I first heard her present at the 1986 International Creative Problem Solving Institute. I have given her book to hundreds of people in the U.S. and Asia who are teachers and trainers so they understand the importance of music on learning. It is easy to read, well researched, and practical. The appendix is a gold mine. --Geil Browning, CEO, Emergenitics International and author of: Emergenitics.
