Anner,
There is also research indicating that children who are exposed to
classical music at an early age have improved learning skills or higher
IQ's or something along those lines. Our local representative in the state
legislator (who is a dairyman) has sponsored legislation for increased
funding for music in the schools on this basis. Besides, what's good for
cows is good for kids - and irises, too! (-:
