A GREAT topic for discussion!
From Merlin: QUOTE Studies done on the subject show that certain music puts the mind at ease, and aids in a person's ability to study, or relax... different things. Baroque music is said to be best. It has also been established that teenagers can do very well studying while listening to rock. Others may do the same with their own preference. Music affects the brain in particular ways - even peculiar ways. Does this relate to poetic styles? Do some age groups prefer one over the other?

There are certainly several points I'm in total agreement with. Classical music is something that we, perhaps, need to grow into. I recall one kid in hi-school (a nerd by today's standards) who knew all the symphonies, and even wrote madrigals. He was weird, by our standards then.
I enjoy folk music most, and as I said, find jazz extremely irritating. That's me, not a judgement of the music itself. I find folk pleasant to listen to, and have often written to it, both in certain cadences, and as a background stimulant. It isn't very often I don't have some form of outside noise on in the house - meaning the radio or other music. Television is a waste of time for me - I seldom sit and watch (my choice). I have 2 tv sets in the house, btw. Interesting thoughts. Merlin ······· ······· |
