Maia Aprahamian Teacher and composer "I can't thank you enough=8Afor Music and Child Development=8Awhat a treasur= e! Books like this are food for the intellect, true stimuli for thought and exercises for the analytical process we call learning=8Aencouraging me to consider aspects of music and children heretofore ignored.
