Using heavy metal music to promote scientific thinking in the classroom

Uuugh. I'd rather listen to hours of heavy metal music, and I hate heavy metal music, than to listen to 10 minutes of that Nana Mouskouri crap ^^

The article is not saying you should play music during class. The article is using the example of "Can music lead people to commit harmful acts?" to encourage the understanding of logical fallacies.

I think they should start with Pythagoras, who saw a clear connection of the mathematics of music to the mathematics of the universe.

Pythagoras is credited with being the “Father of Mathematics”. He is also credited as being the “Father of Geometry” as well as the “Father of Music”.

Comparing here with heavy metal crap is fighting words!!!

Check out who is amongst the biggest selling female recording artists ever...She's always up there, depending where you obtain your info....
Singing in 7 or 8 different languages probably accounts for her sales.

There is quite a range of "good" music in between.

I could hold an entire lecture on this composition and rendition of the beautiful tune *Estate* by Michel Petrucciani, a piano jazz player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPuiDrXp2XA

Jazz blows chunks. I'd rather listen to Nana, I think.

I enjoy cartoons on tv with music, its really perfect to me to understand it. But without music(when I mute the tv sound) its really not enjoyable. Teaching or learning with music is important that I think but what kind of musics is perfect with different subjects is about resource.
