Well, reading between the lines (and having seen these studies before) simply means they will be better *students*, not subject-dependent. This shouldn't come as a surprise to our erudite list members, because even if Wolfy's stuff was 12tet it was, and is, some of the finest music ever made by a human being. What I can't reconcile with this study are the countless occurances, at least one I've seen documented here in San Diego, of convenience store owners pumping classical music (and they actually found music of the Classical period composers had the strongest effect) into the parking lots to keep ... malcontents from loitering. Or maybe they just got smart quick and gave up all thoughts of shoplifting... >Hey, maybe my poor math skills are the result of my parents love >for Polka music? So what? You're probably a damn fine bowler! :) Cheers all, Jon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jonathan M.
