Old man in nursing home reacts to music of his era-youtube video
What I found in this is somewhat interesting. This man who has been bound to a wheelchair, never speaks to anyone, and has a hard time with memory skills, is somehow re-animated through music. when he is given an ipod with his favorite music, he starts to sing along, remembering every lyric word for word. It is amazing how the simplest thing can breath life back into someone.
Why Classical Music is the Key to Education by Marianna Wertz
In this excerpt,Wertz describes how playing classical music will increase your intelligence and pave the way for a better life. She also claims that listening to anything other than classical music will decrease your intelligence increase your chances of becoming a drug user and basically be a failure to society. Wertz is basing all of her information on tests conducted on mice. in my opinion, that is not a liable source. if she would have looked into the history of different genres, she would have noticed that some of todays music is influenced by classical music. for instance, the bands Between the Buried and Me, Human Abstract, and Scale the Summit all have elements of classical music.
