Note: Presentations from the 1987 Biology of Music Making Conference were revised to reflect current information and thinking as of the 1990 publication date.

ÒI have just finished reading Music and Child Development and I am bowled over by the scope of this conference and its implications. First, as a musician and composer myself, it has a tremendous. validating effect on my personal experience in evolving as a musicianÉ Second, as a teacher who works in the evocation of creativity in students, I found the myriad approaches to music making a very exciting thing, and proving beyond a doubt the importance of exposing children to this nonverbal language of audio and rhythmic symbols as an enhancement to learning.Ó Maia Aprahamian Teacher and composer
