Listening to Mozart does NOT help you relax more than listening to other music. There is no such thing as the Mozart effect. Its just another marketing scheme. People should just listen to what they enjoy. And there is probably no bigger Mozart fan than me.. lol
Agreed. We actually studied these false statistics and the studies behind them in my Research Methods courses.
As for classical music, I love to relax to Aaron Copeland and Ravel with either of the Johann Strausses in a distant third.
