Now comes word (from 'music-impact ' research psychologists at the University of Toronto) that only the actual playing of music increases intelligence, and that the 'Mozart effect' , which set the arts world a-buzz a while back, is 'crap'. !
And the Los Angeles Times reports that 'Researchers have concluded that music is little more than ear-candy for the brain if it is consumed only passively.' Further: ' If you want to sharpen your senses, boost your ability to focus and perhaps even improve your memory, the latest word is you'll need more than hype and a loaded I-Pod.'
Again...we're tempted to say " well, we know that!"
Note on the home page a new page you can visit: Good Time Groove. We're playing! That's what musicians do!
This is serious.
