Mind The Singing
Our engagement with sound leaves a fundamental imprint on who we are. The sounds of our lives shape our brains, for better and for worse. And our singing minds, in turn, impact our sonic world, again for better and for worse. Will we be expert listeners/singers or poor listeners/singers?
The Singing Mind represents the state of the art in education by providing resources and tools to foster the development of singing and showing the way to the future direction for this critically important educational approach, to make better choices for ourselves and for others.

“A startling work. Sound and rhythm are fundamental mysteries of the universe, and this book connects the dots. What does sound have to do with our daily lives? How does it connect us to the world? How can we understand the power of music and why it sends a chill up our spine? As a lover of sound and the science of sound, Nina Kraus makes the case that the world is sound.”
Musicologist and drummer for the Grateful Dead
Mickey Hart
#1 New Release in Physics of Acoustics & Sound
“Nina Kraus is a brilliant communicator in her explorations of music and the brain. Of Sound Mind is an engaging and entertaining read. With lively analogies and diagrams, the book is accessible for those just getting their ‘ears’ wet, but has much to offer for musicians and researchers as well.”
Soprano and arts and health advocate
Renée Fleming
