Bravo!
Sound Choices brings the ear, the heart, and the body into harmony.
An important book, its practical and visionary uses of sound will
help many generations stay in tune.
Don Campbell, author of The Mozart Effect
Sound Choices is a treasure, revealing the power of music
to heal, to inspire, and to help us act skillfully in a stressful
world. This practical and delightfully readable book is full of
wisdom for designing auditory environments that facilitate learning,
creativity, communication, and health. Written by two master musicians
with years of experience in classroom, hospital, and performance
settings, it is a much-needed addition to the literature on transformation
and healing.

Music can be a potent force for healing and is too powerful
to be considered mere entertainment. Mazer and Smith are music professionals
and pioneers in bringing music into our hospitals and healing institutions.
Their music is magical, and so is their book. Highly recommended.
Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Prayer Is Good Medicine
For many years I have listened to the sound environments created
by Susan Mazer and Dallas Smith. This book, which is destined to
become a classic in the field of sound and environmental design,
is a testimony to their outstanding vision and pioneering work in
the developing arena of music and environmental design. It is a
powerful statement about the healing power of music.

Sound Choices reveals the power and majesty of music in the
healing process. Music is being used as a natural complement to
drugs and surgery in health care. To understand how music can refresh
your soul and spirit and aid in your healing, read this book.
