Am I the only one who sees "Mangina" when reading Mangini's name?

/he's got the Sesame Street curse
//damn you Bears for giving them Thomas Jones

Bah, the Mozart effect is bull, the only study done was mostly invalid and everything based after it was poorly done as well. It's just a ploy used by music teachers trying to save their jobs because they can't remember the other reasons why music is necessary in education.

cubsfan07: Am I the only one who sees "Mangina" when reading Mangini's name?

Yup. Everyone else just sees "Mangenius".

FTA:I didn't know what Warped Tour was until I did a little homework. Is old fogey-dom already my fate?

It has apparently been his fate for a decade or so. The Warped Tour isn't exactly new.

-study of music creates new neural pathways, which means the brain is getting smarter
-study of music improves test scores in other areas, especially math.
-group music performance gives students an opportunity to work together to achieve a goal. Bonus points because it's not intrinsically competitive (like a sports team). You don't need an opponent to be able to work together to succeed at music.
-music and other arts provide a form of expression that cannot necessarily be put in to words. If we, as a society, lose the ability to express ourselves artistically, then a part of our culture will die.

These are the main reasons I use to justify music in education. Although the sports forum isn't probably the best place to say these things. Also, no sources cited because I haven't had to do any research since college, and have become lazy. I wrote a paper on this for some class or other, and this is just what I remember.
