It is not shure that Mozart will make you smarter. It is quite shure that pop music will make you stupid.

It's unfortunate how often people keep bringing that study up. The study in question has been thoroughly debunked. Its methodology was fatally flawed, and further studies consistently showe that listening to particular kinds of music has no measurable effect on intelligence, and that Mozart, in particular, was as unremarkable in that respect as any other composer.

you can listen to Mozart's k448 here. It's one of the original pieces that was found to improve intelligence (transient increase). We posted this 1.5 years ago. http://www.smart-kit.com/s245/how-th...iq-listen-now/
