Does Mozart really make you smarter? - BBC REEL

The phrase 'the Mozart effect' was coined in 1991, and a subsequent study describing how listening to classical music somehow improves the brain sparked real media and public interest.

But is it correct, and what has research discovered since?

It's not about stimulation, it's about relaxation and experiencing beauty and music of higher consciousness, which is exemplified by Mozart's music.

A lot of cartoons I saw as a toddler had a lot of classical music in them.😮

[JohnTavastian]

In my opinion based on no study, the fact that it has no lyrics it affect different parts of our brain.

[TheRealMake-Make]

Probably not smarter, but a Mozart CD for every baby is brilliant!

[eyeinsee]

Return of the mack is the greatest musical composition in human history so of course it would make you smarter.

[BlackJack-diym]

When I listen to Mozart or any upbeat classical music I run better people just say that you are full of energy.

[priyanshupriyanshu]

In how much volume should we listen to mozart music.

Welp.. idk about Mozart but I do listed lofi music to study long hours not exactly to increase my brain power ... Lofi hits you in different way that really increase the productivity 🎼

Listening to 10 minutes of Mozart piano sonata already had a little effect.
Just go ahead and give the babies Mozart (and Albinoni Vivaldi Bach....) Other brain stimulating activities like dancing will have their time and schedule.
The sound receptor in the little brain is wide open and the structure of classical music is outstanding. Yes, there is much more music with structural stimulation for instance Earth Wind and Fire. Let's analyze the mentioned Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. The first two lines sound like a question and the answer.
The third line sounds like the follow up in the musical conversation.
Playing that kind of music will stimulate the language wiring.

Listen indian classic called shastriya Sangeet awesome 😊

[LadyA]

Main takeaway for me is Return of the Mack is just as good!

[Gankoittetsu]

[CoalaCalavera]

Idk if I believe that classical music makes you smarter, but edm listeners are definitely on a lower intellectual level than the rest
