I reside in a small City of just under 100,000 people in population. In the downtown area, there has become a notorious area for teenage loitering. The city tried to disperse them, using many means, such as using the police to patrol & mingle. This did not work. So, what _was_ effective was

[LUTE] Re: Music Therapy

I agree with Howard's remarks. You can find an abundance of Mozart and similar in freshman music theory classes, the reason being the hallmarks of the "classical style": functional harmony, motivic development, antecedent-consequent phrasing, etc. which clearly define a syntax of music. Influenc
