I am planning to listen to Sousa marches daily for a few weeks. I want to test the idea about listening to spirited music to inspire mood and uplift one's spirits. Today in one of my classes we listening to Sousa Stars and Stripes forever. A brief discussion took place and I shared this idea I remember hearing about some years ago about a book written that promotes listening only to Marches - that marches are the best music. We should avoid listening to all other music which promotes negative results. I shared my story about two students (twins) who showed their classmates two plants as part of their choice to present a music topic in grade eleven. To one plant, only classical music is played daily for a certain time frame; the other plant a different type of music: heavy metal style.
The plant which was exposed to classical music sounds outgrew the other plant.
I also talked about the "Mozart-effect", to make you smarter if you listen to certain pieces of music composed by Mozart.
At any rate, I am planning to try this daily dosage of March-listening!
