The Georgi Lozanov technique uses music in three distinct ways to accelerate learning:

1. Introductory music, along with deep breathing exercises, to relax participants and achieve the optimum state for easy learning.

2. An "active concert", in which the information to be learned is read in time to expressive music.

3. A "passive concert" in which the learner hears the new information read softly against a background of baroque music, to help move the information into the long-term memory banks. Here are a few typical selections:

FOR ACTIVE CONCERT

Beethoven, Concerto for Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, Op. 61.

Tchaikovsky, Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor for Piano and Orchestra.

Mozart, for Violin and Orchestra Concert No. 7 in D major.

Haydn, Symphony No. 67 in F. major; Symphony No. 69 in B. major

Beethoven, Concerto No. 5 in E flat major for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 73 ("Emperor").
