About Max Highstein

Max Highstein Tends To Do Things Differently

Take his music, for example. You’ll find soprano sax in many of the tunes, but it’s not jazz. And you’ll find cello in a lot of the tunes, but it’s not classical. You’ll find some synths, pads, bells, and various mystery sounds, but it’s not really “new age.” (Then what really is it? It’s music, silly!)

Max received a BA in Music (jazz piano) from Goddard College. Then an MA in Spiritual Psychology, and another MA in Counseling. (Not just one MA, two. See? Different.)

Then he starting making therapeutic guided imagery and music recordings. Instead of the home made sort of thing happening at the time, his were done with high production values. (Yes, again different.) His second, The Healing Waterfall, became one of the most popular guided imagery programs ever recorded.

Then he started putting his music front and center, featuring his keyboard playing, with woodwinds, strings, and percussion. His CDs Touch The Sky and Stars were some of the most heavily played

#vasfagh-5:Max Highstein is a healer. Though his music is carefully thought out and arranged, he believes its the positive energy and feelings conveyed through his music that effects listeners. The son of a medical doctor, Highstein has always been a musician, but for several years after college he studied Oriental Medicine, philosophy, and metaphysics.
"My work in alternative healing eventually bridged back into music," he explains. "One day I sat at my piano improvising for a friend who said she could feel the musical energy in different parts of her body. Soon I began thinking in terms of making music to help people heal themselves."
Highstein has degrees in Jazz Improvisation, Counseling, and Spiritual Psychology. His album, The Healing Waterfall; A Guided Musical Journey has been a mainstay in metaphysical bookstores nation wide for over 10 years.
Max divides his time between producing music and designing graphics for print and the Web. He's a fly fishing enthusiast, and an equestrian, shown here with an old friend, Hondo. You can find out more about
