Is classical music really beneficial for my fetus?
Lyndsey G asked:
I’m 18 wks pregnant, and wondering about playing classical music for the baby. Seems like I’ve heard it helps stimulate their brain, but I’m not sure if there’s any medical proof.

Just thought I’d ask before I go out and buy some headphones and CD’s!

Does listening to classical music while you sleep have any benefits?
beth asked:
I forget where I heard it, but isn’t it true that if you play classical music while you sleep at night it makes you smarter? Or is this just a myth? Does classical music provide any other benefits I should know about?

What types of classical music are popular in Germany these days?
Nikki asked:
When I was there it seemed at least the family that I stayed with listened to a lot of baroque music and other music by German composers. I was wondering if it is uncommon for them to listen to music by American composers… which is also of course younger music. I was thinking of sending a gift to friend in Germany of a CD of a local woodwind quintet, but their CD happens to have all American pieces. I just don’t want to send it if they dislike or would not really care to listen to American music. It has some Barber, Bernstein, Gershwin, some local composers etc.

how to draw people’s interest to classical music?
Junfeng Z asked:
I am a first year University student who is interested in classical music. I’ve been listening to classical music since I was 15. But it was/is really hard to find some one who would pay any attention to classical music around me. They just find it boring and difficult to understand.
So I want to make them interested. But what can I do?

Is there any known benefit in listening to classical music throughout your sleep?
Jeff asked:
I listen to classical music every night I go to sleep, I notice that I can’t remember my dream, maybe I can remember having a dream say like once every 2 months, I’m not sure if that is related to the music itself or if it’s just in my genes…but I would be interested to know if the classical music has any benefit at all?

Who are some composers who bridge the Classical and Popular music world?
puckrock2000 asked:
The obvious example of this would be George Gershwin, but I was trying to think of some other examples, such as:
The obvious example of this would be George Gershwin, but I was trying to think of some other examples, such as:
Leonard Bernstein – if you include “Broadway musicals” in the “Pop” category
Frank Zappa – composed several avant-garde orchestral works, like those on the “Perfect Stranger” and “LSO, Vol. 1 & 2″
Joe Jackson – educated at the Royal Academy of Music, and released 2 albums of instrumental compositions (”Will Power” and “Symphony #1″), thought to call those works “classical” is a stretch.
Anyone else you can come up with?
