From the Label
The Sound Health Series is based upon clinical investigations into psychoacoustics- the study of the effect of music and sound on the human nervous system. Sound Health recordings are designed to improved ear and brain function while providing a delightful listening experience. We are often asked "What makes these recordings different and effective?" The answer, simply, is ABT's unique combination of science and art. Scientific research demonstrates what many people already know: certain music helps to accelerate learning, focus attention, and enhance health. Accessing three decades of clinical experience, ABT has identified components of music and sound that produce physical and mental states conducive to specific activities.
The music of the Sound Health Series has been re-arranged according to proven techniques. Although the melodies may seem familiar, all the music has been meticulously re-structured in vibrant new recordings to maximize effectiveness for your well-being. ABT's skillful blending of art and science results in beautiful soundtracks that enhance health, learning, and productivity.
Advanced Brain Technologies (ABT) creates music and sound programs for those seeking therapeutic, educational, and self-improvement benefits. Collaborating with leaders in neuro-development, education, music, and psychoacoustics, ABT produces innovative brain-based products and technologies. ABT, in association with the Center for Psychoacoustic Research, is pioneering the development of sound programs for specific uses.

Learning.......2007-06-08
I will never study again without this product. I found I can study a lot longer while using this product.
Zen Capitalism (ý mole, or do you want more?).......2006-04-16
Halpern is a great artist... and a gret money-maker. Each "new" title has the same songs, sometimes with different names... A little swindle... Zen swindle, I would say... But I love them all anyway.
O cara "lan?a" na maior cara-de-pau CD's com diferentes nomes, mas com as mesmas m?sicas (que tamb?m mudam de nome)... ? mole, or do you want more?
Excellent for studying.......2002-11-17
I love this CD! I often put it in my personal CD player and take it to the coffee shop to help me as I study French. The music is relaxing but not sleep-inducing. Steven Halpern composes great music.

Nice background music for studying.......2001-04-02
This is my first Steve Halpern album. I'm not sure if the subliminals in this CD do any good, but the new age music on it is nice, relaxing, and not annoying. It is not distracting either. I use it to study with and it certainly helps block out unwanted noise.

Music in the Learning Environment - YES!.......2003-04-09
I recently used this CD as part of my master's degree research project and thesis. I used this music in a reading comprehension study and a hallway behavior study. I also used Halpern's Accelerated Learning music, and Creed's heavier rock music. To summarize: 75% of students who listened to these classical pieces before reading scored an average of 6.7% higher on reading comprehension tests than when they did not. Hallway behavior improved by 33% while this CD was played. In contrast, misbehavior nearly doubled with the rock music. The tempo, timbres and form of this music seemed most effective in the middle school environment I used for this study. I don't usually leave reviews, but thought this was noteworthy, especially for other educators.
Helps Me Learn Complex Information Almost Effortlessly........2000-04-07
I have a job which requires me to learn complex information to keep pace with technological changes. I've never had an easier time quickly learning and retaining the data now that I've started using this CD. The music is wonderful to listen to even when I'm not studying. The performances are a bit different from the way the music might ordinarily be recorded, an added bonus. I hope this label produces additional titles in the near future, I now own six and want more!

In this playful musical journey to Latin America, they bring us the music that Latin parents, grandparents and teachers sing with their children. You will hear new renditions of traditional songs to sing along and dance, and a few tongue twisters with a twist.
Customer Reviews:
great CD for little babies.......2007-07-05
I am native spanish and this CD is the closest to the music I've had when I was little. Music is soft with no annoying voices. My 4 month old baby loves it already. Many of the songs are fun to dance with and in others you can signal with your hands while singing. Highly recommended.
Great CD and fun to listen too for parents...and baby!.......2006-12-23
We have a 10 month old and we can only speak English to her. To introduce her to the Spanish language we got this CD of music and the whole family loves it, including the little one. We all love dancing around the living room while its playing. Its also has 5 or 6 spoken parts to expose the baby to the spoken word. Also, its been a great CD to put her to sleep with because to songs are so soft an pleasing. You can't go wrong with this one!
Excellent sound quality, diversity of voices/songs.......2006-05-27
As a non-native Spanish speaker trying to expose our daughter to as much Spanish as possible (my husband only speaks English to her), this is a perfect CD with easily understood (i.e. not too fast, nor too many voices singing at once) and fun music in Spanish. The music quality is great and diversity of people singing (women, men, children) is broader than other CD's I've heard. Also, there are quite a few tracks!
Good musicians and creative arrangements.......2005-11-28
It can be hard to find children's music in Spanish that parents can also enjoy, but this is it. These performers sing well and have put together some delightful arrangments of old standards as well as some new songs. My Spanish-speaking kids (ages 4 and 1) love it and always get up to dance during their favorites.

Steven Spielberg veered from the futuristic sci-fi flirtations of A.I. and Minority Report with this brisk, stylish period take on the career of teen con-man extraordinaire Frank Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his dogged G-man pursuer/de facto extended family member Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks). As always, the director's musical collaborator is John Williams, and the scoring legend uses the occasion of their 20th collaboration as a rewarding musical journey back to the days when he was known as Johnny Williams, ambitious young pianist for Henry Mancini on such early jazz scores as Peter Gunn. Informed by a half-century of subsequent achievement, Williams's return to the jazz idiom of his youth yields a smart, nervous score that evokes more than mere nostalgia. But with Dan Higgins's moody sax often leading the way, the veteran composer's work here seems more evocative reinvention than revisitation, yet another tribute to his uncanny ability to make any idiom his own. A handful of pop standards (including Sinatra's "Come Fly with Me," Getz and Gilberto's "Girl from Ipanema," "The Christmas Song" by Nat "King" Cole) deftly color both period and plot, but, as always, it's Williams who provides Spielberg's masterful imagery with its musical life's blood. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
Outstanding!.......2007-04-04
John Williams does it again! This man is the best composer I have ever heard! The music fits the scenes in the movies so unblievably well that you will wonder how one man was creative enough to think of it!
Johnny's "Lost in Soundtrack".......2006-08-25
The opening theme is the coolest ever. It has that jazzy, suspenseful, space-age groove that takes you back to the early 60's era portrayed in the movie.
Once I discovered it was done by John Williams, things started to click. The arrangement and themes actually go back way before he was famous. Back to an era he may not want you to remember. Back when he was known simply as "Johnny" Williams.
First, notice the melody and pace of the creeping marimbas and bubbling flutes. Next, catch a repeat of the old Sci-Fi, TV Fairy-Tale known as "LOST IN SPACE." Listen for the incidental, suspense-scene music throughout. Did you catch the composer's name in the credits?
Bingo!(and still very cool)!
Excellent Mix of Jazz and Emotion.......2006-02-20
This is brilliant. You will have this theme ringing in your ears for a month after listening. I have collected around 25 to 30 J. Williams scores. This is wonderful like the rest...
John Williams, Film Scores and Jazz all done to Perfection........2004-10-15
I loved the movie and now the music. I think it is one of the most original soundtracks that John Williams has ever done. The Jazz in this music is so peaceful and lighthearted. This soundtrack should be on any music lovers shelf. In my book, this music is a classic film score.
A Great "Catch".......2004-10-04
Steven Spielberg's 2002 film CATCH ME IF YOU CAN was a breezy crime caper movie based on the true-life story of Frank Abagnale, a real "phony" who nevertheless embarked on a three-year spree of writing bum checks adding up to millions during the 1960s. To capture that era's swinging mores, he had his great friend John Williams design one of that composer's quirkiest scores ever--very jazzy and redolent of the scores Henry Mancini devised for the "Pink Panther" films and Stanley Donen's 1963 classic CHARADE.
But for Williams, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN was very much a homecoming, as he started out in jazz and even worked quite closely with Mancini early on in Hollywood. The genuine jauntiness and mystery of the film's main musical motifs are balanced by moments of warm but not mushy sentimentality, and hit songs of that period by Frank Sinatra, Stan Getz, and Dusty Springfield round out this appealing collection.
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN was such an offbeat project for a composer and a director known for boldness, but it served as a challenge that Spielberg aced on the screen and Williams aced in his music. It is highly recommended for its sheer audacity in going back to the past and still remaining relevant to today.

Wonderful.......2007-07-02
My children LOVE this CD. It has helped them so much with their mulitplication tables. My 8 year old's teacher has asked where to get it as well. Everytime we go somewhere they ask to hear it. Wonderful product!
Kids love it!.......2007-05-25
The music is upbeat and tells a story. I think the kids enjoy this and the addition soundtrack more than any of the educational CD's they have. I wish more learning tapes were this creative!
OK.......2006-12-21
The songs are catchy my 8 and 9 year olds like the songs but the multiplication parts in the songs are sometimes spaced out with lots of words in between. Very hard to actually memorize times tables...
Googols of Fun.......2005-06-08
Bird-like creatures from space named googols (named after a very large number) take you on an exciting adventure through the universe in this award winning product, teaching facts about numbers and world geography at the same time.
The multiplication vacation "movie soundtrack" help make the learning of multiplication facts fun and exciting.
The CD begins with a "star wars" feel-"Long, long, long ago in a galaxy faraway..." -grabbing your kids attention from the get-go.
My kids enjoy listening to the songs, and once the CD turns off I can often hear them humming a few of the tunes and chanting the phrase "googol power." My 4 year old particularly enjoyed "two two two" and "penguin rap" was a big hit with everyone.
If you're looking for some catchy "educational" music to play at home or in the car, look no further..It's right here.
fun and educational for all ages.......2005-03-01
My kids, 2 and 4, love this CD. They sing along and ask questions about the songs, making a great opportunity to teach them about multiplication. The songs are grown-up friendly, I particularly like the 13 song.

Product Description
In these songs, children share the joy of music and movement while learning about numbers
Amazon.com
Hap Palmer goes about educating children through almost entirely organic means--he writes catchy tunes that involve a variety of games, stories, and activities that involve kids and parents both during the music and beyond it. Can Cockatoos Count by Twos? cites a handful of high objectives in its liner notes: For kids to "enhance listening and comprehension skills"; to "teach basic academic concepts"; to "increase vocabulary and stimulate language proficiency"; to "develop fitness and basic motor skills"; to "foster the recognition of rhythm and melody"; and to "encourage problem solving and creativity." A tall set of ideals, indeed, but Palmer lives up to each goal, aiming these creative songs at the twin targets of entertainment and edification. Each song's lyrics has explanations of the objectives, ideal settings for playing along, and a description of the ideal activity. Palmer has a supple enough voice that he melds in with the mostly acoustic instruments on Cockatoos, but he avoids becoming sonic wallpaper and provides kids with understandable, fun narratives. --Andrew Bartlett

One of the best CD's out there!.......2007-05-10
All ages and musical backgrounds love this CD. The Baltimore Consort are amazing. One really feels one is in a smoky pub in the 14oo's getting plastered with England's best musicians! Don't miss "Pox on You;" my kids absolutely howl with glee at the "bass fartophone." I haven't heard laughter like that come out of my little boy since he was a toddler. "Sweet Sir Walter" features one of the guys singing in a falsetto that sweeps lustily down into a Tim Curry-esque (think Dr. Frank-n-furter)gutteral guffaw of delight. So outrageously fun one forgets one is listening to Renaissance madrigals.
a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-03-25
These bawdy catches and ballads take us on a journey to the taverns and other social gathering places of the the real 'Merry Old England'. Some of us may be mildly shocked by the directness and earthiness of the text, but everyday life in the 17th century was much more 'down-to'earth- and forward. These texts-some blatant and other euphemistic-fully explore the spectrum of humor from the sly smirk to the back-slapping guffaw.
The singing of both ballads and catches belongs to a long and venerable tradition in England. The natural habitat of the of the catch was the tavern, while the ballad was known in a wider variety of social settings as well as the stage. By the end of the 17th century, ballads were collected by connoisseurs of popular culture and published in anthologies. The main source for this recording, 'The Catch Club, or 'Merry Companions', was printed in 1762.
A quote from the catch-philosopher (of 'Come, come let us drink') is offered by the Baltimore Consort: "...wine and good cheer will in spite of our fear inspire our hearts with mirth..the time we live, to wine let us give, since we all must turn to earth...."
This is an excellent collection of songs; quite interesting and varied. The instruments are played skillfully, and the voices, for the most part, are good quality. However, as with all 'folk-like' songs, the diction is not always clear, and that is very true of several of these on this disc. The female voices were more difficult to comprehend much of the time. The text is printed out, so ultimately familiararity will make them easier to understand. I do like the disc, and think that it needed to be done.As to a previous criticism concerning the fact that it wasn't 'true' barroom singing. Of course, it's not!!!If it were, you would not understand any of it!!!!!Enough said.
Prelewd to Postlewd.......2005-09-28
The Baltimore Consort, an ensemble of six players, was founded in 1980 with the purpose of performing 'broken consort' pieces of Elizabethan origin. 'Broken' here refers to the instrumentation - treble viol/violin, flue/recorder, lute, cittern, bandore and bass viol. Their repertoire expanded beyond these beginnings to include broader British fare, as well as French and Italian music of the time. This is a happy expansion, as it made this disc of older, bawdy (for its time) music possible.
The Baltimore Consort play with life and vigour, with a good deal of improvisational flair, not being bound to texts and going through the production of notes as if mechanically. This is true to the spirit and nature of the early music, in which performers often had to 'play by ear', neither being able to read music nor having printed music even if they could. This is particularly true of the songs on this disc, where many are derivative of anonymous jokes and stories, and much of the music is likewise folk-tune and anonymously composed.
Some of the songs can be rather shocking. As Mary Anne Ballard writes in the accompanying notes, 'We must remember that in the days before indoor plumbing and pooper-scooper laws, everyday life was of an earthier flavour than it is today.... The men of the singing clubs and the ladies of stage poked fun at themselves and their companions with wit, pleasantry and contrivance.'
The names of many of the composers of these pieces have been lost to history, particularly the more folk-song oriented ones. However, some well-known composers are represented among the pieces here - Purcell, D'Urfey, Aldridge, and others.
The regular players include Mary Anne Ballard (viols), Mark Cudek (cittern, guitar, recorder and bass viol), Custer LaRue (vocalist/soprano), Larry Lipkis (recorder, viols), Ronn McFarlane (lute), Chris Norman (flutes), Webb Wiggins (tambourine and 'virginals'). Some artists are known from other Dorian productions, such as Ronn McFarlane on the lute in the collection 'Greensleeves'.
Added to the regular consort players are the Merry Companions, including Peter Becker (baritone), Alexander Blachly (baritone), Paul Shipper (bass, belch-canto), and James Weaver (baritone).
One more addition includes a guest artist, Lorenzo Labbrobacio, playing of all things, the 'fartophone', a rather mysterious instrument indeed. Labbrobacio defies identification on the internet other than references to this disc, and so the mystery deepens.
This is music that is interesting, truly fun to listen to, entertaining and has a quality about it that makes it a joy both in musical and humourous tones.
Sounds like they're singing Christmas carols.......2004-11-09
This recording is professionally produced - perhaps too much so. I've been in a few taverns and heard my share of bawdy songs. I am used to hearing them sung with gusto, with a wink and a naughty smile, to the raucous and enthusiastic appreciation of the audience. The songs on this CD are performed entirely straight. The results are technically competent but fail utterly in conveying the spirit and fun that make this genre worth listening to.
A sly and rollicksome good time!.......2002-11-29
On this recording, the Baltimore Consort and the Merry Companions are full of fun, both blatant and tongue-in-cheek. Soprano Custer La Rue and the instrumentalists of the Consort are joined by a quartet of classical male singers (Peter Becker, Alexander Blachly, Paul Shipper and James Weaver) with quite a theatrical sense of humor. The two groups take turns presenting ribald tavern songs of merry old England, interspersed by light, catchy instrumentals listed in the credits as the "Prelewd", the "Interlewd" and a "Fresh Ayre". Drinking, sex and other bodily functions are both celebrated and ridiculed in songs that are cleverly worded and enthusiastically sung, and in at least one case, accompanied by a mysterious instrument (reminiscent of P.D.Q. Bach) called a "fartophone". Especially amusing are the "catches" or rounds, and the new meanings that result from the staggering of words when several different verses are all sung together. It sounds silly, and is silly, but that's the point of it all--celebrating the "earthier flavor" of life 17th and 18th century England. My copy came with a parental advisory sticker stuck fast to the case, but my mother didn't seem overly concerned, and in fact enjoyed it too when I played it for her! For more fun Renaissance vocals, both salacious and serious, try "All At Once Well Met: English Madrigals" by the King's Singers, and "The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour: Italy, England, France, Spain, Germany" by the King's Singers and the Consort of Musicke.

Kids love it!.......2007-05-25
The music is upbeat and tells a story. I think the kids enjoy this and the multiplication soundtrack more than any of the educational CD's they have. I wish more learning tapes were this creative!

Addition Celebration Album.......2006-05-10

WOW!!!!!!.......2006-05-09
I BOUGHT THIS CD ON A WHIM. MY LITTLE NEPHEW, CHRIS, AND I LOVE TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER DOING THINGS, AND TRYING TO BE A GOOD UNCLE, I DO MY BEST TO MAKE SURE HE GETS AT LEAST A 'LITTLE' EDUCATION DURING OUR 'OUTINGS'. I HAD NO IDEA HOW GOOD THIS WOULD BE.
I HAD HEARD THAT THIS COMPANY HAD WON AN 'INDY' AWARD FOR BEST CHILDREN'S CD...SO I FIGURED IT WAS A FAIRLY GOOD GUAGE TO GO ON...
ON FIRST LISTEN, YOU ARE CAPIVATED BY THE 'CARTOON' TYPE VOICES USED IN EACH CHARACTER...CHRIS LOVED THAT IMMEDIATELY AND WANTED TO HEAR IT AGAIN AND AGAIN...IT WASN'T UNTIL I HAD HEARD IT FOR THE SECOND TIME THAT I REALIZED 'I' WAS GETTING EDUCATED TOO.
THE LAYERS OF EDUCATION WITHIN EACH SONG IS STAGGERING.
IT'S MATH, HISTORY, GRAMMER. GEOGRAPHY, SCIENCE AND LIFE ALL ROLLED INTO ONE.
LITTLE ONES WILL ENJOY IT FOR THE VOICES AND FUN SONGS (WHICH BY THE WAY, ARE QUITE GOOD...EVEN FOR MY OLD JADED EARS)...YOU WILL PROBABLY FIND YOUR CHILDREN RETURNING TO THIS 'GOOGOL' THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS THEY GROW UP....IT'S CHOCK FULL OF TONS OF INFORMATION....
WELL DONE...!!!
TWO THUMBS WAAAAAY UP!!!!!!
SESAME STREET - ....LOOK OUT - THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN!!!!!

What a fun & educational collection of songs. The music is high quaility, and very professional. The children I know who have heard the songs really enjoy them. They were singing along to song in no time. What a great way to learn math and other facts.
