Music: MOTAB vs. Other Modern Genres

Alright, so I usually listen to a lot of country and some John Mayer/Colbie type genre's that I love... but after our discussion in class I wanted to try listening to a little less modern-type music and more hymn/spiritual type music.  So this whole week, I have pretty much been listening to MOTAB pandora... it's been really nice.  I feel a lot more peaceful, less anxiety/stress and a lot more focused and positive.  Now, nothing is wrong with modern or country music- I will still listen to all sorts of stuff, but just feeling the difference was so neat.  I appreciate that the studies done on music have proved accurate in my life after doing my own little observational study on how music affects my thoughts/moods.  Anyways, I find myself a little more cheerful, patient, calm and content.  I have also been singing more (hymns) throughout the week in the car or at home, and find that to be relaxing too (although others may argue it stresses them out more to listen to me scree... I mean sing ;-) )

Music proves to make a difference in studies, and on me! It works.  No more listening to Biggie Smalls before taking a test for me...
