We all has heard about this right? That a classical music is able to increase your IQ and also your cognitive skill.
Is it true?
Well according to parents and hundred of people that believe this, they would say that this is true. Start using classical music for the baby in the womb or using classical to study because it can help you learn faster.
A report has come out that people who likes to listen classical music has better IQ than those who doesn’t like to hear it by 10 point.
Why it should be classical music? What about other type of music?
Well heavy metal, rock&roll, jazz, or other kind do has similar effect but not just as good as classical music. These kind of music doesn’t help much with the IQ but it do has the similar effect with the cognitive skill.
But is there a research about this?
Surprisingly, there has never been a true research that said classical music can makes you smarter. All of those rumor are still based purely on anecdotal, some expert says that music can makes you smarter is just myth.
In my finding after searching information about this I don’t know what to say about if this was a myth because I still believe that listening to music can help you or kids become smarter. So what should we believe in?I would say that there’s nothing wrong in believing that classical music makes you smarter, but don’t force it as if it was 100% true.
