| Did you know that listening to Mozart's music will change your brain waves so that you can think on a higher level?I think this was what the speaker in the radio was telling me in between two piano concerts. Yes, of course we're also celebrating the musical genius. His life story is so sad, but also beautiful;how could he produce such a rich source of ear hangers? If you like to have Mozart on your Mp3 player or PC, and do not mind getting a little intro talk in Danish, you can subsribe to a podcast series from the Danish Broadcast Damnarks Radio with nine symphonies at http://dr.dk/mozart - The first , Symphony nr. 41 I listened to all morning in my Walkman mp3 phone, and all night there has been concerts as well. My head is spinning from all this music. http://www.mozartproject.org/ |

There's a radio 4 programme on the 'Mozart Effect' which you might enjoy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/mozarteffect.shtml
I've been putting a few Mozart symphonies and some chamber music on in the background during maths lessons - difficult to quantify, but I think a postive effect - some of my pupils have asked where they can get hold of copies from.
A couple of weeks back I had to cover 90 minutes worth of music lessons for one class, so we listened and watched Marriage of Figaro on the big board - it went down so well - real soap opera stuff of course, but they got the jokes from the subtitles and were captivated by it. Not easy explaining droit de seigneur to 9 year olds, though. "Well, he's her boss and he wants to go out with her" was the best I could do.
