Cool! I've never heard this before, but I always liked Baroque (especially Bach) for studying. I always wished the UCLA Biomed library would pipe in music--as soon as I entered the stacks my thoughts turned to Bach. Something about the smell of the old volumes triggered that association.
Thanks for the info! For lacemaking, however, I learn toward New Age stuff--George Winston, Lanz & Spear, Kitaro, Nakai, that sort of stuff. Tranquil & serene. Native American flute museic is also really good. For me, making lace is meditative, unlike studying. Robin P.

Much research s done in the 90s on accelerated learning and it was found that the beat of Baroque music was similar to that of the of heart beat during light exercise. When students revised or did activities with this in the background they retained more information than without. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
