"A Well-Tempered Mind" describes how the students of Bolton Elementary in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and a local quintet worked together and then explains the ongoing research that focuses on how music engages the brain's cognitive capabilities, from memory and language to emotional processing. Music, "A Well-Tempered Mind" reveals, is a universal language that expands young minds in essential ways.
