The Mozart Effect II And Other Communication/Learning Links

Abstract

I believe that a nation that allows music to be expendable is in danger of becoming expendable itself.

Richard Dreyfuss, star of Mr. Hollands Opus @ the Grammy Awards (1996)Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,

Raze out the written troubles of the brain, And with some sweet oblivious antidote,

Cleanse the full bosom of that perilous stuff Which weights upon the heart . . .

Macbeth, reflecting on music in Macbeth, Shakespeare

Is a soul greater than the hum of its parts?

Douglas Hofstadter, The Minds Eye
