Dr. Ortiz's recent book, Nurturing Your Child With Music: How Sound Awareness Creates Happy, Smart and Confident Children, and the CDs; It's Sleepy Time! and Turning Daydreams into Dreams: A Bedtime Story are now available through our institute Order Today!.  

The Book is available through various web sites, including: www.amazon.com.
www.barnesandnoble.com
and at your local book stores. 

This book assists parents, caregivers, teachers and counselors with learning how to use music and sound to enrich their children’s — and their own — lives. The goal of this book is to raise Sound Awareness (our attention to sounds — including voice tones and volume, attentive listening, filtering out negativity — as well as music) and to help parents to create family harmony and strengthen lifelong bonds. Sound ideas to assist young children (aged pre-natal through twelve) in areas such as getting to sleep, relaxation, stimulation, enhancing creativity and coordination, and developing musical interest are presented in practical, “family friendly” form. The book also introduces hundreds of musical games and activities aimed at helping to bring — and keep — families together.
