Re: Music in the Artroom

I have no research to base it on other than my own practice.
I truly believe cool, calm jazz (without lyrics) works extremely
well. They complain at first then after a while we have a quiet
productive classroom. I also had great luck with native american
flute music. We used it when we did lessons related to the
southwest. You might check research on right brain learning.
That's where I originally got the idea to use instrumental
music only to help keep us working in the right hemisphere.
