Researchers believe that musical training actually creates new pathways in the brain. Classical music is good for building baby's brain and best time to listen to music is when the babies are still in the womb. It can stimulate their senses and help mommies and babies to relax. Music has a powerful effect to our emotions.
Why classical music? The music most people call "classical" --- works by composers such as Bach, Beethoven or Mozart -- is different from music such as rock and rnb. Classical music has more complex musical structure. Babies as young as 3 months can pick out that structure and even recognize classical music selections they have heard before.
Researchers think the complexity of classical music is what primes the brain to solve spatial problems more quickly. So listening to classical music may have different effects on the brain than listening to other types of music.
Having this in mind, DH and I bought some CDs to listen and share with our babies.
I agree, classical music can do magic!
