  How to Make Sound Health® Work for You
  
  For optimal therapeutic effect, we suggest listening to your chosen recording throughout the day, playing the music softly in the background. No special audio equipment is required - in fact, these CDs can even be played though computer speakers to invigorate or relax you as you work. Use the music to create a desired room ambiance or mask background noise. To intensify your listening experience, slip on a pair of stereo headphones. As with all music, a gentle volume is most effective.
  
  
  Noise Pollution
  
  Even relatively low levels of environmental noise have been proven to negatively affect physical and intellectual performance. Designed to mask irritating background noise, the innovative classical recordings in Sound Health® enhance health and well-being by creating a therapeutic musical environment for work, rest and play.
  

Using Sound Health Music in The Classroom

In 1998 a classroom survey was conducted at two public schools in the mid-western United States. Teachers of grades Kindergarten through Six were asked to play the Learning and Concentration CD's from the Sound Health¨ Series in their classrooms. Following the use of these CD's, the teachers were asked to complete a survey providing us with their feedback concerning the use of these CD's.

School Survey Results
Sound Health CD's used with 27 classrooms with 560 students averaging 21 students per class. Here are the teacher responses...

Between these two schools, a total of 27 classrooms with 560 students, grades Kindergarten through Six, listened to Learning and Concentration..

Review of the combined responses of the 27 teachers, from the two schools, showed that:

100% of the teachers reported they enjoyed the experience of playing this music in their classroom.

An average of 70.5% reported their students were more on task

68% reported their classrooms were less noisy

48.5% reported their students were more attentive

50.5% reported their students were more productive when listening.

Results in Chart format

These teachers also indicated they felt the music was most useful when played during periods when the student engaged in writing, math, thinking, silent reading, language, and independent study. Sound Health proved to provide benefit to the students in a school setting.

The series contains psychoacoustically-refined classical and baroque music performed by the Arcanglos Chamber Ensemble.
Music for Concentration has an average tempo of 50-60 beats per minute and includes compositions by Bach, Vivaldi, Salieri and Albinoni.
Music for Learning also has and average tempo of 50-60 beats per minute and includes compositions by Bach, Vivaldi and Corelli in addition to sounds of nature.

Sound Health® Series
Specially selected baroque/classical repertoire and original compositions, resonant recording environments, acoustic instrumentation, and music tempos in appropriate beats-per-minute further enhance the natural benefits we realize by listening to beautiful, high quality classical music.

Sensory Development
 

The Listening Program benefits people of all ages starting as young as age two. (Early auditory stimulation is crucial to a child's cognitive and language development). It's not common knowledge that auditory skills relate to a great many other areas of our lives. The most obvious ones are having academic struggles, difficulties with speech and communications, and problems remembering what they hear.
The Specialized Extensions to the Listening program are  high-quality audio CDs that integrate specially produced acoustic music, primarily classical, with innovative sound processing techniques.

TLP Extension - Sensory Integration Classic  CD  An optional add-on for The Listening Program, the Sensory Integration CD helps develop the brain's organization of sensory input. Can also be used as preliminary training for the child with sound sensitivities or  difficulties with headsets.
TLP Extension - Speech & Language Integration CD  An optional add-on for The Listening Program, this CD focuses on the Language Zone, and involves sound frequencies related to receptive language, speech, melody, pitch, auditory memory, voice modulation and control.
