Mozart to calm rowdy pupils
School heads are to play Mozart to youngsters before lessons to make them less rowdy in the classroom.
The music will be piped over loudspeakers before classes when primary schools return from the summer holiday in the eastern Croatian town of Osijek.
Mozart's music, including his famous Eine Kleine Nacht Musik, was picked after teachers in the town read that scientific studies had shown his music was beneficial for kids.
Studies carried out at the University of Berlin found students who listened to the composer for ten minutes before an exam did much better than those who had listened to other composers or no music at all.
And babies in some hospitals in eastern Europe are played Mozart five times a day on the maternity ward after medical staff found it was the perfect way to keep newborn babies healthy and relaxed after the trauma of being born.
"We believe that classical music will prevent violent behaviour and make kids more relaxed," said an education authority spokesman.
