More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This text is a combination of a "how-to" guide and a "plug and play" resource. Liz Brant and Tony Harvey explain the theories behind music in training and help debunk some of the myths. They also provide practical advice on identifying appropriate music and choosing audio equipment. This resource offers a concise guide to the traps associated with music in training. The theory is sufficient to convince anyone who has not used music before to experiment with confidence. By bringing together "proven" tracks for particular applications, the authors should save both novices and experienced users time and money that they would otherwise spend in accumulating CDs from which to draw one or two tracks. The accompanying CD ROM includes 20 tracks (nearly 75 minutes of music). Please note you will need the appropriate PRS and PPL licences in order to use any music in your training. This guide provides details of how to obtain these licences which, once obtained, entitle you to use the music on the CD without further reference to Gower Publishing Limited.

I found this a valuable resource for some training sessions I was running. The use of music enhanced each session and was invaluable in creating the right atmosphere for a succesful session.

The book and CD is an excellent combination. The book gives enough theory to anyone who wants a practical guide on what music can achieve in a training environment. However, it is easy to read and doesn't get bogged down with too much theory. It also covers the legal aspects of playing music in public which is really useful. A great CD too - it is very handy to have such a wide variety of music all on one CD.

Being more productive!
17 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
Trainer, teacher,employer - we all want to make best use of our resources! This small, compact book is stuffed with information and a CD loaded with music to help you and your group be creative, energetic, reflective... to work happily and to produce more.
Sure we've heard the teens say they study better with their walkman, and if you've been in Long's Drugs or the Body Shop recently maybe you've noticed that it's *not* muzak, but "music." Brant and Harvey explain clearly how music affects our bodies and brains to bring us to a state of concentration that will promote creativity, energy, reflection. We have examples from history and from current research which back up the intuitive feelings that most people have about how music can help or hinder them in their daily tasks. So this book is a great resource for any trainer, especially with the CD - instead of carrying around 20 difference disks, I now have it all on one disk - 75 minutes of well-chosen music that takes my group from 'welcoming', through 'creativity - energizing -reflecting ' to 'departing.' They loved it! We had a very successful session, but the questions raised about the music made the participants not only appreciate my efforts as a trainer, but also it made them think about the music choices *they* could make when working on their own - which of course, is always the long term goal of the trainer.
If you are an NLP practitioner, then you will be familiar with the use of music for accelerated learning, but Choosing and Using Music in Training is a useful resource, and certainly should be a textbook for any 'train the trainer' workshops. The authors also cover how to use music, the importance of silence!, choosing equipment, licenses, and a useful FAQ section.
As a memeber of ASTD, I would say this is all you need to get you on the right track!
