From the Author
The right music can make your life work better!
As an ethnomusicologist, I know that cultures around the world have always used music to make their daily lives work better--and I created Tune Your Brain (TM) to help you become an expert music user with your own CD collection. The latest research in neurology, medicine, and psychology helps you bring ancient wisdom into the scientific present for better health and performance in seven states of mind, body, and mood. The discographies run from Mozart to Nirvana to African trance, and there's a companion CD series on Deutsche Grammophon to help you start braintuning today. I'd love to hear from you!

First rate - very well researched and written, very useful!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tune Your Brain: Using Music to Manage Your Mind, Body, and Mood (Paperback)
Elizabeth Miles has collected a great deal of evidence from many sources in this book. In doing so she cuts through a lot of the hype and metaphor that usually surrounds this kind of work, gives us the facts and offers us lots of different ways to try using music in our lives, and to notice the results. I recommend this book without reservation. The associated CDs are good too.

A surprisingly deep book.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tune Your Brain: Using Music to Manage Your Mind, Body, and Mood (Paperback)
I checked out this book because I was mentioned in a footnote and wanted to know what she said about ME. It turns out that she not only summarized my work well but took an incredibly clear and interesting sweep across the field of music/brain research. It actually works as the utilitarian self-help book but also is an astonishingly useful guide to opening specialized personal inquiries in musical psychology. It's like a survey course you can actually use in real life. I know this stuff, but I'm actually trying it her way and it helps! I wish there were a money book this good so I could get rich--for now I'll have to settle for getting saner and happier. One step at a time, eh?

Well done, but not a bed-time book!,
By Dr. Joseph Jacobs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tune Your Brain: Using Music to Manage Your Mind, Body, and Mood (Paperback)
I found this book to be well researched and written well! But do not buy it if you are looking for a bedtime book to read. It's very thorough and the few funny one-liners won't keep you awake. This is for the serious scholar or possibly CAM practitioner. Overall, it's really good though. She really did her homework and it came across well! Buy it if your a musician too, I'm sure you'll get something out of it as well. Good job Elizabeth - give us more!
