Hi RHARV!

Thanks for posting that. I am thoroughly and irrevocably allied to the belief that music must be a part of any person's education. Without it, no education is complete. The studies you posted support the importance of music as part of a complete curriculum. I have seen some of this work before, and these researchers get my vote any day.

My objection was ONLY to the pseudoscientific baloney that has sprung up around the so-called "Mozart effect." Listening to "Elvira Madigan" for ten minutes makes you smarter? I don't think so, and neither do the people who published the original study.

Hats off to your parents for their activism in this regard. I would like to know more about what they are up to.
