This is false. Incidental learning, and incidental listening as a way of incidental learning, refers to the learning of a skill by observation rather than by directed teaching. Observation also implies more than visual learning, but the use of all senses relevant to the experience being observed. One can learn music through incidental learning, however what Roberto and Evangelique are doing cannot be considered so. The music they play is serving a soothing or relaxing purpose, while their attention is focused on their study material. This way, the music becomes a sort of background noise, and while they may remember the tune they listened to while studying, and it can actually serve as a cue to recall memories acquired while the song was playing, they are very unlikely to learn classical music through incidental listening.
The first photograph was taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce between 1826 and 1827. The image depicts the view from an upstairs window at Niepce's estate, Le Gras.
