letter from the publisher T


his September issue of Natural Awakenings struck a familiar chord (pun intended) with my mother. A


singer since childhood, a piano player since the age of 7, a preschool music teacher (20 years) and a piano teacher (30 years), she is well-aware and a long-time promoter of the joys and benefi ts of a music-fi lled life.


From making better students to helping to heal emotional and physical problems to providing stress relief for all of us, there is no better prescription. (See “Music as Medicine” p. 18 and “Raising a Music Lover” p. 20 and “Peace Within” p. 22.) Little did she dream at that fi rst piano lesson that music


would open doors beyond her imagining. Among them three Bach Choir trips to England (1990 Royal Albert Hall), Italy (1997 St. Peter’s in Rome) and Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria (2001). Never could she have imagined the thrill of singing in Bach’s very own Leipzig church…that she would compose two young children’s music books…that she would still be singing (see p. 11 Young at Heart) at age 83! The Benefi ts of Music? Just ask Mary Voell Jones…


my mother! Happy Music-Making, Margaret Jones Bertone, Publisher Never Glossy. Always Green.


Natural Awakenings practices environmental sustainability by using postconsumer recycled paper and soy-based ink on uncoated stock. This choice avoids the toxic chemicals and high energy costs of producing shiny, coated paper that is hard to recycle.


Speaks what cannot be expressed… Soothes the mind and gives it rest… Heals the heart and makes it whole… Flows from heaven to the Soul.
