Music Makes Your Child Smarter: How Music Helps Every Child's Development.(Book review)
[??] Music Makes Your Child Smarter: How Music Helps Every Child's Development, w/CD, by Philip Sheppard, Omnibus Press, 2007; 347 pp.; $22.95
Music Makes Your Child Smarter is an excellent resource for both teachers and parents. The book is divided into two major sections--the first section is the research and important aspects of why music can, and does, play such a significant role in a child's development; the second section lays out various activities within several age ranges that will allow children the opportunity to include music in their daily lives.

Philip Sheppard is able to clearly explain the concepts in a way that is particularly useful for re-explaining to parents or to other educators.

In the second part of the book Sheppard includes musical activities for parents and teachers and a CD with various musical examples.
