Modern people generally like to listen to pop songs or rock songs, and the population that likes classical music seems to be gradually shrinking. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) pointed out that people aged 25-34 increased in 2009-10. Only 6.1% attended classical concerts, down 7% from 2005-06. In addition, the audience of classical music of all ages in Australia also dropped by 9.4% from 2004 to 2010. This trend is not only happening in Australia, but also studies in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France have found similar results.

The Mozart effect is widely used to treat diseases and even increase milk production

Scientists from the University of Washington found that the average test score of college students who listened to soft classical music was 21.3 points higher than that of college students who did not listen to music. . However, this is just a single case study, and so far, there is still no definite scientific basis for whether classical music can bring significant intelligence improvements to people.
