Can music potentially influence intelligence?

Can listening to particular forms of music increase or decrease intelligence?

I have read somewhere that listening to Classical music before essay type exams can help students get better grades as listening to this form of music stimulates the same part of the brain used for reasoning. Perhaps there is some link between music and intelligence.
