About the OptimaLearning Classics » OptimaLearning Classics Album Notes » What People Are Saying » To Order OptimaLearning Classics About the OptimaLearning ClassicsSince time immemorial people have known that music exerts profound impact on body, mind and soul. The pioneering work of the renowned Bulgarian psychiatrist Georgi Lozanov, M.D., in the mid 20th century brought amazing new insights on the use of certain types of classical music for super memory and productivity. (Superlearning 2000, Ostrander and Schroeder, 2000).Ivan Barzakov Ph.D., a leading instructor for Lozanov in Bulgaria, updated and expanded these techniques after emigrating to the U.S.A., incorporating recent brain research into his OptimaLearning® system. OptimaLearning Classics provide music for optimal brain stimulation and receptivity for either concentration and performance or relaxation. Two carefully crafted techniques are offered the listener: Reading with Music (RWM) and Music for Optimal Receptivity and Concentration (MORC). The OptimaLearning Classic CDs and cassettes provide uniquely sequenced excerpts of great classical music compositions — sequenced by tempo, key, pitch, instrumentation and themes — to stimulate your brain in specific ways. Essential in OptimaLearning Classics is the CONTRAST AND COMPLEMENTATION of movements — SLOW and FAST — which both Dr. Lozanov and Dr. Barzakov found, after 30 years of research, to produce maximum effect. Using the "Music for Optimal Receptivity and Concentration" (MORC) technique with these specialized music backgrounds, you simply listen before or during your study, or work; or in daily life for relaxation or healing. The Reading with Music (RWM) technique provides a more advanced process for accelerating memory and recall. All OptimaLearning albums combine beautiful music with written instructions about how and when to use each selection most effectively. These OptimaLearning techniques combine specially sequenced music with focused methods of use to yield optimal receptivity and concentration. The integrity of the music remains intact. There are absolutely no subliminal suggestions nor instructions, and no change of frequencies. It is the same music created by the genius of Bach, Vivaldi, Corelli, Berlioz, Debussy and many others. Through these OptimaLearning techniques, the inherent harmonies and structures within the music (rhythm, melody, dynamics, etc.) are being synchronized with specific neurophysiological mechanisms of the brain to release dormant energy and optimally stimulate the brain and mind. The end result is significantly enhanced learning or teaching, thinking and creativity, as well as work performance, relaxation and well-being. The written text gives the listener concise information about the impact of these techniques on the mind of listeners. Music selections and their particular sequence augment the effect of the music itself. You will experience how the conscious mind (cognitive perception) empowers the "non-conscious" (direct musical perception). You will also feel how the beauty of great music unites with the neurophysiological stimulation of the newly created sequences for optimal enjoyment and multiple benefits. The OptimaLearning Classics Library consists of four types of albums:
