The other day in class while sharing stories from "the field", our professor suggested putting on classical music (esp. Mozart) for students calms them down. Supposedly, shutting the lights and having the kids put their heads down after lunch while playing some calming music - especially with AD/HD kids - will help. Anyways, I remembered that just today because I've been having so much trouble concentrating on my take home midterm due tomorrow. I searched my collection of CDs during my "classical music" kick and have gotten a significant amount of work done! I started with Beethoven's 9th Symphony, then played selections from a CD that I used in my "Music Appreciation class in college (which I barely passed) which had Chopin and Schumann songs. After the CD I currently have one (which includes some more Beethoven like Moonlight Sonata, Spring Sonata op. 24, and Romance op. 50, I think I'm gonna listen to my fave "classical" tune of all time: Copland's Appalachian Spring. I wish I had some Mozart to play though. Supposedly Mozart makes one quite focused and productive at work.
