- (1888PressRelease) March 06, 2018 - ACT, Australia - Jennifer Dixon's Connections begins with a brief description of the author's life detailing the connection to music that she shared with her sister Maureen.

The story is peppered with music tracks and these are listed at the end, together with mention of some of music's other therapeutic effects.
