The question brought a smile to my heart as I remembered a high school
play I was in years ago.
I have not seen the/any study(ies) on this, but somehow it reminds me of
Professor Harold Hill, in The Music Man play and his "THINK" method for
learning how to play musical instruments. Of course the "professor" was a
filmflam man (con artist). Don't mean to be irreverant.
Best wishes to all,
