The Mozart effect is when listening to music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a famous composer from a long time ago, might make you feel smarter or more calm. Studies have shown that listening to Mozart’s music can help improve your memory and focus. But it’s important to remember that just listening to Mozart once won’t make you super smart. It takes lots of practice and hard work to become really good at something. So while Mozart’s music can be helpful, it’s not a magic spell.
