    I myself have played Maribeth’s songs while I work on activities requiring concentration and thought. Each song is calming, peaceful, and sounds like a movie score. The peaceful songs help me focus and think while I work. I recommend her album to any classroom teacher or student who is having to focus, learn, or create in deep thought.
