Why: Certain Mozart compositions have
helped learners raise their intelligence
scores on spatial-temporal reasoning
tests. The effect does not appear to
last, but it can be reactivated at any
time.
How: Play different types of music for
different effects. For example, positive
energizing music at start of class, low
volume background baroque to soothe
and relax students, or Mozart's Piano
Sonata in D Major before tasks
involving spatial temporal reasong
(assembling objects, building, puzzles,
etc.).
When I was pregnant, I used to play music for
Max. We'll never know if it helped, but I'm sure it didn't hurt any!
