| "Few authors have the gift to reveal a whole new, rich, and vital part of life. Don Campbell and Chris Brewer help you to "see" the importance of rhythm and music for self development and education in a way you've never "felt" it before. They have done for music what Betty Edwards has done for art in Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." |
Colin Rose Accelerated learning Systems, UK |
| "Today we are discovering facets of ourselves which will be accepted as facts tomorrow. Rhythms of Learning points to new realms and opens the way to their exploration new experiences leading to a richer self awareness await us and Rhythms of Learning is an invitation to seek this adventure." |
