The Latest on the Mozart Effect

A recent report now says that the Mozart effect is another charming urban legend. The bad news

for the hip urban professionals: Playing Mozart for your designer baby will not improve his IQ

or help him get into that exclusive pre-school. He'll just have to be admitted to Harvard some

other way.

Of course, we're all better off for listening to Mozart purely for the pleasure of it. However, one

wonders that if playing Mozart sonatas for little Tiffany or Jason could boost their intelligence,

what would happen if other composers were played during the kiddies' developmental time?

A recent report now says that the Mozart effect is another charming urban legend. The bad news

for the hip urban professionals: Playing Mozart for your designer baby will not improve his IQ

or help him get into that exclusive pre-school. He'll just have to be admitted to Harvard some

other way.

Of course, we're all better off for listening to Mozart purely for the pleasure of it. However, one

wonders that if playing Mozart sonatas for little Tiffany or Jason could boost their intelligence,
