February 2010:
Even the finest
musicians are not
necessarily proficient
composers as well. Yet
jazz is an art form
which requires
performers to improvise
new music at every
performance. Does that
mean jazz is a
prohibited area for many
musicians?
Australian
musician/teacher,
Greg Foster,
gives his opinion on
this topic by
tackling the question:
Can any musician learn to play jazz?

Musical Curiosities
Mozart's Music Makes
Premature Babies Fatten
Up?
The results of a recent
study conducted by
Israeli doctors released
last month, showed that
healthy premature babies
subjected to 10 to 30
minutes of music from a
"Baby Mozart" CD caused
the babies metabolism to
slow down on average of
up to 13%. With a slower
metabolism, the
premature babies would
gain much needed weight
faster. Scientists are
still unsure if the
study proves to be
another "Mozart Effect."
