"Music across the Senses: Listening, Learning, and Making Music is an exemplary model of connecting research to practice and a valuable resource for music teachers interested in expanding possibilities for multisensory listening experiences." -- Music Educators Journal

"Superbly researched, and generous with examples, this book makes it abundantly clear that listening in music can be captured, developed, made visible and reflected on creatively and musically. And in addition to the inspirational way in which author Jody Kerchner illustrates the importance of listening, this book illustratively presents the role of the body, of play, of gesture, and embodied representations in developing creative musical listening." --Pamela Burnard, Reader in Education, University of Cambridge

"This is an unusual book in the most positive sense. Kerchner illustrates her pedagogical ideas through detailed descriptions of her research, the resultant multisensory teaching strategies for the classroom, lesson plans, and videos of her research and teaching with children." --Rob E. Dunn, Brigham Young University

"[A] sound pedagogical approach with much wisdom for those of us who use our ears for a living and who wish to inspire our students to use thiers in the choral arts." -- Choral Journal
