Music helps in the classroom

Music reduces stress. This is not a very revolutionary statement.

But a Taiwanese university proved scientifically that pregnant women are much more relaxed when they listen to music with a rhythm of 60 to 80 beats per minute. This is also the rhythm of the heart when resting. If this is good for unborn children, it is likely to be good for all children. After a bit of searching I discovered that there is a series of ‘Music for the Mind’ also for children. To be used at home or in the classroom. The music helps to create a peaceful relaxed environment, important for learning and using longterm memory.

This sample is especially good when you are reading or writing”, composer Gary Lamb explains. And I must say it is quite relaxing.
