RE: Mozart Effect (WAS RE: Quiet workplace)

["Downing, David" <DavidDowning -at- Users -dot- com>]

Can you give us a list of the pieces you're using?  I'm guessing one of
them is Symphony #40.


And hey, what do you all think would happen if you listened to
Schoenberg while you were trying to work?

Your predicament is all to common, I believe, in our 'gopher hole'
workplaces.

I discovered the information on the 'Mozart' effect while doing some
online research related to background noises. I then promptly bought: 1.
A great pair of earphones for my computer. 2. Several CD's of the
well-recommended Mozart titles. I printed the research results so that
anyone asking about my listening habits would soon learn that the music
I had chose has been 'proven' to boost learning and performance.

This approach not only quieted my workplace, but also quieted any
opposition to my approach. Ultimately, it quieted my responses to the
hubbub around me!
