OverviewEver wonder what is going on in a baby's brain? Or how you can best nurture a child's natural development? Or why exactly Bach is better than Mozart for babies? This book will explain why. No technical knowledge is necessary, as Shore makes recent neurological findings accessible to all those who come into contact with young children. Everything a baby experiences in his or her first five years is building the foundation of life's learning potential through the formation of neural networks in the brain. Through increasing the complexity of the early childhood environment in developmentally appropriate ways, we can nurture these neural networks. The visionary educational leader must look beyond the traditional boundaries of the K-12 system, and towards the space between the maternity ward and the kindergarten door.

The chapters on Bach and ployphony and the importance of complex aural stimulus for brain development are absolutely compelling and entirely convincing. Dr. Shore's book is inspired and must be considered a major contribution to the field. I, for one, am headed to the piano to play through my Bach Preludes and Fugues, flushed and inspired anew by the power and depth of this wonderful music.--Robert Greenberg Author InformationRebecca Shore has the distinction of having both a degree in music and doctorate in education administration and policy. She has published numerous articles on early childhood education and has lectured extensively on this topic. She has also produced a series of Bach CDs for children, highlighting the importance of developmental neural network stimulation. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
