Comment on Another Study Confirms Learning Music Increases IQ by scott head

Who cares about IQ? Your IQ is nothing more than a label for educational purposes! In the “real-world” your IQ is useless and is thus rendered meaningless; unless you are looking to compare brain pans on an intellectual website.
I am guessing here, but the idea is for this article is to show the value of music in terms of increasing intelligence, improving education aptitude and helping special needs children?

Look, as a construction superintendent, I could have cared less what a persons IQ was, nor did I care what their GPA was. I did care if they had great recommendations which focussed on work ethic and initiative. As a teacher now, I spend hours attempting to motivate students who are apathetic to the idea of education. American education is so far beyond revolutionary fixes (I.E. music programs), that a long term evolutionary change must be done.

On a personal note. My son is Autistic and Deaf. So, I completely understand the emotional need for your program, but the analysis of your data, in terms of IQ is what’s wrong with American education. We spend way to much time focussing on grades and aptitude scoring, that we have forgotten what has gotten America to where it is in the world! (Hard Work, Creativity and Ingenuity). So, point the power of music in terms of work ethic, a never quit attitude and American pride and I would say your on to something.

I think this idea is great. I really enjoyed watching this video.
I have one question: What is the name of the Classical Piano piece that is played during the last part of this video?
I would guess the composer is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?
Does anyone know the name of this composition and who the composer is?
Thank you.

All the best,

Clint

Great demo of CMJ. It’s incredible how much my students enjoy this program. We’re looking forward to Volume 2.
