Singer Renée Fleming unveils healing powers of music in new book, "Music and Mind"

Renée Fleming, renowned opera singer and a five-time Grammy winner, delves into the therapeutic effects of music and arts on health in her new book, "Music and Mind." The book, which includes contributions from scientists, artists, and healthcare professionals, explores the profound impact of music on human health and well-being.

Fleming, a 2023 Kennedy Center honoree, said during research for her book, she found that there are particularly strong benefits of introducing music early in children's lives. 

"There's a whole section on music education for children, which is really important," Fleming said.
