| "In my job I get to see love at first sight (i.e. birth) daily. Now I better understand the nine month enchantment and attunement, the prelude to a bond, love at first sound, a human symphony, involving supersonic connection-- love." |

| "The Mozart Effect for Children is a modern phenomenon, blending neurological and physiological research with vibrant testimonials and rare compassion.

| "Don Campbell, known for his publication with The Pastoral Press, Master Teacher: Nadia Boulanger, has specialized in the role of music in relationship to Body, Mind and Spirit. The Mozart Effect is drawn from the theories of Alfred Tomatis as well as his own work with vocalization. Don's early work has been with children, through Chorister's Guild and his teaching. This book brings together, in clear and lucid form, the two worlds: children and music. It combines practical instruction for new parents with enough technical background to convince the uncertain that making music with the child, even in the womb, is vital to the child's growth to full potential. His final recommendations combine the works of Mozart with a detailed listing of children's songs arranged according to ages: For Pregnancy, For Infants, For Babies, For Toddlers, For PreSchoolers, For Kindergartners, For Early Elementary School, For Late Elementary School, including some Spanish Language recommendations. The Mozart Effect for Children is a significant work designed as a practical tool for parents. If you are pregnant, or know of someone who is, share this book with them. If you experience music not only as a rich and reward aesthetic experience but also a bridge to a more creative, intelligent, healthy and joy-filled life, read this book. The Mozart Effect for Children contains a revolution for all who care about the spiritual aspect of human race." |

| "The Mozart Effect for Children is a major contribution to a quiet revolution that is under way today, one that could change human history as decisively as printing, electronics, or quantum physics." |
