The Mozart Effect

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Some scientists argue that listening to Mozart's music will make you smarter, or even heal your psychological woes. Professors Chip Heath (organizational behavior at Stanford) and John Hughes (neurology at University of Illinois) separate truth from urban myth. Live in our studios, the WNYC Young People's Radio Chorus performs important African-American choral works. Guests Francisco Núñez and E. Wayne Abercrombie envision a multicultural choir for the future.
