As I listen to Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, and Frederic Farkin' Chopin, I'm not sure it will work....

\the first two? Marching band alumni.
\\Chopin? Because it's relaxing, that's all....

I just skimmed TFA so it could have been mentioned but I feel that some classical songs are just so depressing that they work as an anti-depressant through catharsis. Moonlight Sonata is the first example to come to mind. Just earlier today I was listening to Rachmaninoff Op. 3 No. 2 In C Sharp Minor and although it's sad piece it cheered me up with it's beauty.

/In short I agree with the article.

Classical music is quite nice to listen to when you're all Straussed out and you feel like your life is unRaveling.

This knowledge will undoubtedly come in useful whenever I have a group of 79 inpatients down in Mexico to take care of.

It's such a limited study. If I understand the article, half got 30 minutes of daily (group?) psychotherapy and half got nothing except music once a week for 50 minutes.

Presumably, the music listening was done as a group. Was the music loud or just played at background levels? Were these listeners told to sit and listen quietly or allowed to do anything they pleased? Were they told that they were being given a "music therapy" or just placed in the room with no explanation?

So one group got 7 hours of treatment a week and the other group got 30 minutes of treatment a week. The group that got 7 hours of treatment per week was statistically less depressed after two months.

Yes, it could only have been the music that produced the effect. I can see that now.
