This is one small portion of a long article. I found the entire article very interesting. It is well worth the time it takes to read.
Interestingly, my son actually has an easier time with his homework when I allow him to listen to classical music. I would only allow him to listen to the slower movements, but elsewhere in the article it talks about the more lively ones having a significant impact on math, which is the hardest thing for my son to do. He is going to be surprised when I allow him to listen to the faster paced symphonies while doing homework.
Mozart for Focus
In one controlled study, however, Mozart has been found helpful for ADD children. Rosalie Rebollo Pratt and colleagues studies 19 children, ages seven to seventeen, with ADD while playing recordings of Mozart during three times a week brain wave biofeedback sessions. 100 Masterpieces, Vol. 3: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was the music used. It included the selections of Piano Concerto No. 21 in C, The Marriage of Figaro, Flute Concerto No. 2 in D, Don Giovanni and other concertos and sonatas. The group that listened to Mozart had reduced their theta brain wave activity (slow brain waves often excessive in ADD) in exact rhythm to the underlying beat of the music, and displayed better focus and mood control, diminished impulsivity and improved social skill. Among the subjects that improved, 70 % maintained that improvement six months after the end of the study without further training.

when my 11 can't sleep I let her listen to enya and it calms her enough to allow her to sleep. I am going to try it for homework.
