Wow, I definitely agree with you. What you have said and discussed on this post is exactly what I believe in. That's why I also have this strong belief in the power of music as well as in the benefits of music therapy to most of us - even to preterm infants. According to many different researches, music as a nursing intervention in NICU has been giving more positive therapeutic effects on development and has been providing more health benefits. Thanks for sharing this post to us. I admire your passion for music and your effort to educate everyone in your own ways. Til your next posts. See you around, my friend. Cheers!

Wow. That's really a very nice and inspiring post. Thanks for sharing the article to your readers like me. I certainly agree when you say that we should never underestimate the power of music. Music is universal. Music is dynamic. I even personally have experienced and encountered many issues and events of medical miracles through music therapy as well as the importance of music education on the development and socialization of different individuals. I always feel glad whenever I encounter people who have the same passion and love for music like what I actually have. I also admire your efforts to share your bright ideas and inspiring stories on music education and music as a whole - lending a hand to make a difference. I am looking forward to read your posts on the latest and most effective music teaching resources so as to motivate more and more music teachers out there. Keep up the good work, my friend and more power. Cheers! See you around.

I would so definitely take lessons from you (voice and music) if I could. You sound like you really know music well. How fun about your book! I love the middle ages too. You sound like a very interesting person. :-)

I rather like the idea of men and women hearing music slightly differently. Is there anything about how both sexes respond to different teaching methods?

My exploration of the research so far doesn't show anything backed by clinical studies. However, in my own experience, men need greater external pressure to involve themselves than women do.
