Want to be More Productive?

When I had children from a specific learning disabilities class as well as children from a behavioral class added to my regular primary class of 32 children, I'd play soft, classical music in the background during work time to help keep the mood mellow and the children productive.

When my parakeets look bored and listless, I switch to a classical music station to perk them up and keep them happily chirping.

An American boy's science fair project concluded that while listening to classical music, cows relax more and produce more milk than they do when country or rock music is played in the milking barn.

So if you play music in the background during your day, try a little Mozart and see if it has a productive effect on you.
