Mozart improves performance in more than just rats! My nephew Mike is a music teacher and he encourages all of his students to play Mozart (actually any classical music) while studying for any and all of their other classes. It truly works!


Have a lovely day, Sandee! Smoochies from Gracie! big hugs xoxo

Toothpicks dropped on a floor coming into contact with a bare foot is also a problem. Trust me on that one.

Have a great w/e. Sunny and chilly here in the GA Alps. Big hugs, honey...

I tried playing Mozart while I ventured into the kitchen; Mozart was gifted enough to keep playing while dialing 9-1-1 to get me evicted from the kitchen.

I was going to dispute the claim, until I decided to opt for ordering a pizza...

I'm going to start playing some Mozart and see what happens the next time I'm in a maze!
