...functions better with the aid of well-ordered music.
[Link]
The ancients knew this was so. Here is what Aristotle said:
"Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued withthe same passion; and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form."
Yes, there is some kind of Mozart Effect, if you will. No, listening to Mozart (or any other good music) will not make you smarter. The fact that the title question is falsely or misleadingly framed makes it reasonable to wonder if there is another agenda at work. Either way, good music assists and elevates the mind, heart, and soul, whereas disordered music drags us down by arousing our lower passions via the syncopated, jungle beat. Because music immediately affects the emotions, we easily become strongly attached to whatever music we like, whether or not it is good music that is good for us. Godspeed.
