The book and movie both received wonderful reviews and, from my perspective, highlighted music therapy in an accurate, positive way. But did you hear about the second book? Its […]

It’s only been 5 years since I graduated with my Masters, but so much about being a student has changed! Before, I hand-wrote all my class notes and made sure to carry by $80 flash drive with…what?…8 MB of memory from my apartment computer to the school computer.

Do you ever have the feeling of being so engrossed in a book that you lose yourself in it? Of being to the point of no return, where you will let everything else fall by the wayside because all you want to do is find out how it ends? That’s what this book was like […]

Reading Is a Luxury. Here’s My Solution.

November 24, 2009
