mathematics, scale, symmetry, and serenity. The result was a genre of
music that has been called Baroque music.
There have been many advocates over the last few years that have
proclaimed PHENOMINAL success with the use of Baroque music.
Some even claim to be able to teach a student a new language
within a week. Although many of the claims made sound outlandish,
there have been increasing numbers of studies that now support
them.
There is also a scientific side to understanding the benefit baroque
music provides. Baroque music has a tempo of one beat per second.
It is this beat (60 beats per minute) and rhythm, that is known to
enhance the synchronization of the brain with various other learning
centres in the mind, creating the higher alpha brain ways and the
‘state of mind’ students should strive for which creates a greater
capacity for higher learning.
Simply by spending a few minutes and listening to baroque music you
can change your ‘state of mind’ to a level that is more receptive to
learning. It is through this passive activity that many of the ‘super
learning’ claims have been made.
Some examples of Baroque music are given below:
George Frideric Handel – Water music
Tomaso Albinoni – Adagio in G minor
Antonio Vivaldi – The Four seasons Concerto in D Major
Arcangelo Corelli
– Concerto Grosso no. 10 in F Major;
Concerto Grosso no. 8, opus in G minor
Johann Pachelbel – Canon in D Major
Johann Sebastian Bach
– Harpsichord Concerto in C Major;
Orchestral Suite no. 3 in D Major
There are numerous recordings of the above mentioned music which
are played with an interesting assortment of instruments. If you find
that a piano concerto isn’t your style, you will also be able to find the
same selection of music played
with other instruments, such as
classical guitar or even the harpsichord (if that is your taste).
