Some kinds of music is supposed to put your brain in its optimal mood and increase your 'beta'-IQ with 10 to 20 points. This is highly disputed.

Personally, I do have my doubts. But I do believe that music can be an effective brain exercise. And that surely helps your IQ. Of course the music has to be complex and the listerer must be really listening, active listening. Not passive or even subconscious listening.

Listening to Mozart is good for children (and anybody) because it is great art, it is better for them than listening to Raffi, for instance

But does it make you smarter, and will it help junior's math scores? I don't know, and have my doubts. I think it's hype perpetrated by music teachers. Yo mom and dad; want your little genius to be good at math? GET THEM A MATH TUTOR!!! Math is math, Mozart is Mozart!
