What is the Starfish Theory?

One day, a man was walking on a beach. The beach was covered with starfish. As the man walked farther down the beach, he noticed a second man picking up the starfish and throwing them back into the ocean. The first man approached him and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’m throwing the starfish back into the water so they won’t die.”

The first man replied, “But there are hundreds of them! You can’t possibly throw all of them back. It won’t make that much of a difference.”

The second man replied with a smile on his face, “It will make a difference to the ones I throw back.”

Music has made a difference in the individual lives of those Cyndy has worked with, and her book, The Starfish Theory: The Power of Music, shares 21 stories of hope that will leave you with a smile on your face.

I loved every bit of this book! I was intrigued with each story. I felt in awe when the students in each situation progressed. It’s amazing how music touches so much of the human soul. I am a music teacher and a student. I plan on referencing this book for years to come.

James Harmon (Amazon Review)

This book has touched my heart as I read about the impact the author had on the lives of her students and clients. Her use of music therapy brought real change and peace to the lives of those she worked with. It is a book that can easily be read in snippets when you have a few minutes here or there and want to add some sunshine to your day. I will view and use music differently in my life now, after reading this book.
