Looking over the agenda for the Kindermusik Convention to be held in October in Chicago (still hoping to manage a visit my friends in Duluth, by the way!)...I'm excited because Dr. Daniel Levitin is one of the speakers. From the convention agenda:
Daniel Levitin, Ph.D. is author of This is Your Brain on Music (Dutton/Penguin, 2006). He will lead a General Session on his book, This is Your Brain on Music, and the value of music education. Dr. Levitin earned his B.A. in Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science at Stanford University and went on to earn his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Oregon, researching complex auditory patterns and pattern processing in expert and non-expert populations.
Visit his web site to read of his research, articles on his work, even what's on his iPod.
I'm sure his presentations will give me lots of information and ideas to share with you and our educator team.

Your friends in Duluth count on your visit dear Sarah. Right now we're having a wonderful weather so sunny and hot (like 88°). The lake is beautiful.
Come over then! :-)
Yes, I looked at the pictures you recently sent. What a beautiful place to live!
