Teachers report wonderful effects for their students
All over the world, teachers use John Levine's Alphamusic to...
- help children of all ages settle,
- focus on their work and
- play more productively.
Australian Pre-Schools LOVE John Levine's Alphamusic
In 2003, John Levine introduced over 30 Australian kindergarten and child-care centres to his Alphamusic. Six months later we contacted these clients to find out how they were going with our music.
Here are some of the things they told us:
We use Orange
(Orange Grove Siesta) at sleep-time, or in the background when children are playing. We often play Orange at creative time, when the children are drawing and writing.

We use Orange
(Orange Grove Siesta) at lunchtime; we find it very settling and calming ... it creates good table conversation. We tried all different types of music at mealtimes because the children were always yelling between tables. We found when we put "Orange" on, the children began to talk to each other at their own table.
We also use it in the mornings as the children arrive.
Jessa, Teacher
Cherubs Pre-School, Sydney, Australia
I use the "Orange Blossom CD" (her name for
Orange Grove Siesta). We noticed [when the music is on, that] the boys became better at working collaboratively when this music was playing. Normally, if two or three boys play together it would end up in a fight, but with this music they would play for longer periods of time very productively.
Note: Lois, the teacher in this interview, told us that "I suffer from periods of insomnia. When that happens I borrow the "Blue" one (Silence of Peace) to play at home.
Lois Page, Teacher
Gardiner Child Care, Bondi, Sydney, Australia
I always use [this] type of music; I play it all the time. If [the children] are too excited I'll choose one of John's CDs.
Anne Solomon, Director
Anne Solomon's Pre School, Sydney, Australia
We frequently use
"My Little Sea Shell" at sleeptime. It's very useful in putting the young ones to sleep.

Reflections of a teacher after playing
"Silence of Peace" to children :
Children of 2nd and 3rd classes listened to the music. I could clearly observe how it influenced them:
They stayed calm listening, painting, reading or writing. Some children had their eyes closed. There was silence in the classroom.
I could tell that the music's mood affected the children. After listening they had many questions about the person playing, and the voice that they could hear and so on. They were delighted with the gentleness of the music and wanted to listen more.
Since then, they always want this music to be played in the background during their classes.
I confirm that this music is very suggestive. It creates a specific climate that awakens all sorts of amazing emotions and kinds of associations. Changes in volume and timbre create a unique atmosphere. Vibrations produced by the music help listeners to relax.
Listening to
" Silence of Peace" I noticed that I, too, was more creative and had more ideas.
The only thing you need to do is let the music guide you. It will always accompany me while I do mental work, especially when creativity is necessary. That's a revelation!!

John Levine Alphamusic helps
- students of all ages
- focus on their work and
- absorb information more easily
John Levine has long been interested in how Alphamusic can help students absorb information with greater ease and less stress. There is little "magic" in this theory, only common sense: a calm mind focuses more easily, become more receptive and retain information for longer.
Through its purposeful design, Alphamusic unquestionably helps the mind settle and makes it easier to absorb and remember material.
Children at St John's Primary School in Cambridge, England, use John Levine's Alphamusic during Maths lessons. The children have asked for the music to be played because they have noticed marked improvements in their capacity to focus.
During 2004, John has run
workshops with Cambridge University Students, showing them how to use Alphamusic to reach alpha state and improve their studying techniques. Students have been delighted with the results.

The music was very peaceful. For a moment I felt like I was inside a soap bubble...
it felt very cozy and nice like never before...
