Don Campbell is a recognized authority on the transformative power of music, listening, and The Mozart Effect®
In Campbell's unique view, music is not only a rich and rewarding aesthetic experience but an easily accessible bridge to a more creative, intelligent, healthy, and joy-filled life. His singular mission is to help return music to its central place in the modern world as a resource for growth, development, health, and celebration.
Campbell's roots - ranging from a South Texas boyhood steeped in the musical heritage of the Methodist church, to the rarefied setting of Nadia Boulanger's American Conservatory in Fontainebleau, France - could easily have led to a traditional career as a performer, composer, music researcher, educator, critic, theorist, therapist, or teacher. But Campbell, traveling the world for 35 years with an uncommon sense of openness and understanding about music's place in our lives, has taken a different path.
Campbell describes himself simply as a man who has "listened to the world." Yet his experiences in doing so, including the profound influence of the pioneering work of French researcher Dr. Alfred Tomatis on the central role of the ear to overall mental and physical health and the critical distinction between hearing and listening, have led to a renaissance body of work.
Campbell has also produced 16 albums, including the accompanying Music for the Mozart Effect series for adults and children, which dominated the classical Billboard charts in 1998 and 1999. In addition, he is a leading lecturer and consultant to organizations ranging from corporations to parenting groups to symphony orchestras on how music can affect learning, healing, and other aspects of our lives.
