. 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!
