I chose to argue the positive effects of music on the brain. In recent years many steps have been taken to learn more about how the brain works and what drives it. One of the many things that had an effect on the brain was music. Both playing music and listening to music have been shown to increase scores on spacial reasoning test in young children and in adults. This effect has been deemed the "Motzart Effect". The validity of this theory is being argued by scientists around the world. I chose this topic because music is one of my passions and really interests me. I also have been interested to see if it can really make me smarter after I first heard about this theory a few years back. There is much controversy surrounding this theory becase many scientists believe that simply listening to music can boost your intelligence level. The reasearch question is: What are the positive effects of music on the brain?
