Reader comment on item: You Need Beethoven to Modernize

Submitted by Bilbo Baggins (United States), Mar 15, 2004 at 21:13

I was raised classical, and even though Beethoven is a generalization for all the classical music out there (by those who assume he was the greatest) It does really stimulate and encourage the brain to learn quicker. I'm only a teenager, but I can see the effects it has on me and some of my friends. It's a different thing, but it is needed.
