Using Music to Help Children Listen and Learn by Peter Perret & Janet Fox. Once again music is connecting and transforming, this time in the classrooms of at-risk children. We are guided through the highly successful Bolton Residency Project in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where a local instrumental quintet coordinated music instruction with other classroom lessons. All parties experienced a great learning curve while discovering how to teach through the music and musicians. Most of the book describes the project and teaching process and the effects that occurred. Exciting and heartening to read. 280 pp. Paperback
