Earlier this year Luton council began playing classical music in the town centre to drive away problem youths.

Well, it's hard to be a tough guy with "Fur Elise" cranked up.

OutKast and Ice Cube boost my brain power.

It's been proven that music, in general, improves concentration and boosts memory. This is nothing new.
