  EU seeks to boost online music sales - Breaking - Technology - theage.com.au
Music copyrights are collected by national agencies, but the emergence of online music services such as Apple's iTunes means there is growing demand for a licence that covers all 25 EU nations.
McCreevy warned the music industry that, at this stage, he was merely asking them to develop licences.
Music publishers, independent record labels and some collective rights managers wanted to give copyright holders the choice to appoint a rights manager for online use in the EU.

 Music Lessons Boost Verbal Memory
Although the verbal memory skills of the nine children that stopped taking music lessons did not continue to improve after the training ended, their memory skills remained stable and they did not lose the advantage they had gained previously.
Researchers say this group of children had already had almost three years of musical training before they discontinued their music lessons, which means their training may have had a long-lasting effect.
But as shown by the new music students, as little as a year of music lessons was enough to provide noticeable benefits in verbal memory skills.

 All Headline News - Music Classes Boost Kids' Brain Power - December 29, 2006
Two groups of six children ages four to six took music classes for a year and then completed a music test in which they were asked to differentiate harmonies, rhythms and melodies and a memory test in which they were asked to listen to a series of numbers and then repeat them back.
The children who took lessons attended the Suzuki musical school, which uses a method that has children listen to music and then imitate it before they learn how to read music.
Trainor says that it was not surprising to find children's musical listening skills improved to a greater degree if they took music classes.

Confirming what many music teachers have long believed, psychologists at the Chinese University of Hong Kong found a 16 percent better word memory on average for adults who learned how to play a musical instrument as children.
The researchers suggested that music training may be an entertaining and useful way of improving verbal memory in children.
But she added that researchers should try supplying the music training themselves to be sure it is the same for all, and should also test groups with equal IQs and socioeconomic backgrounds.

 Music Lessons Boost Kids' Brains
Researchers found that not only did the brains of young, musically trained children respond differently to hearing music, but musical training also appeared to improve the children's memories over the course of a year.
In addition, musically trained children showed a greater brain response to hearing a violin tone in an area of the brain involved in attention and sound discrimination.
But researchers also found that children taking music lessons showed greater improvement on a nonmusical general memory test in which they had to listen to a series of numbers, remember them, and then repeat them back.

 Fairfield University :: Fairfield University to help boost music education in Bridgeport Public Schools
One way the teachers hope to captivate students is using music relevant to urban students who hail from diverse countries and cultures, many of which place strong emphasis on music.
Recent research, including the groundbreaking Champions for Change study of 2001, shows students who participate in meaningful music classes do better in music and there is a positive correlation to success in school and the community.
Students with solid music classes are more likely to be motivated and self disciplined and less likely to drop out of school, said Scott Shuler, Ph.D., arts consultant for the Connecticut Department of Education.

Online music stores like RealNetworks Inc.'s Rhapsody and iTunes, meanwhile, encourage their customers to create "playlists" of their favorite music that might interest those who have similar taste.
These technologies could boost music sales across the board by stimulating interest in lesser-known songs that don't get played on TV or the radio, said Sandy Pearlman, a former record producer who helped develop Moodlogic.
While music fans might visit iTunes or Napster to look for one song in particular, eMusic users are more likely to browse for material they haven't heard before, he said.

 Technology: Old speakers? Try giving your music digital boost
Veteran audio engineer Tony Bongiovi, who once worked with Jimi Hendrix, says he has been disappointed for decades that the equipment most people used to listen to music couldn't replicate the high-quality sound heard in the studio.
The technique - which Bongiovi calls the Digital Power Station for the studio he once built in a converted power station in Manhattan - can be described as a very sophisticated equalizer.
It adapts intelligently to the music to give even cheap speakers a full, robust sound and compensate for the deficiencies of the listening space.
