Daisy I would think that Classical Music in the background would be soothing and calming well I would like it, my Doctor has a TV on :-( Sally which Part of the 1812? surely not the climax of the cannonballs roaring lol. Pat x

Well, they could always try a little of the Pastoral, interspersed with the 1812 as an experiment on the little darlings....

Classical music was playing softly in my doctor's surgery last week. It's a new measure introduced to make the waiting room more pleasant. Not at all invasive and very soothing. Daisy

Classical music is being increasingly used to deter yobs congregating in Bus Garages, Railway Stations and even outside the Co-op Stores in Scotland & the Northern Ireland. It is claimed its to soothe passengers & shoppers & to promote good behaviour. The Co-op is attempting to crack down on anti-social behaviour outside some of its Scottish & Northern Ireland stores by giving yobs an earful - of classical music which is seen as uncool to be hanging around where Classical Music is playing & it seems to be working, even the London Underground had considered the idea at one stage. There is even a most Popular list which includes Rachmaninov Symphony No 2 Shostakovich Piano concerto no 2 Williams: Theme from Schindler's List Beethoven Pastoral Symphony Saint-Saens: The Swan What a pity we cannot teach the yobs to enjoy ALL music rather than use such great music to make them flee an area :-( Pat x
