Can Mozart help a pregnant woman?


I work a lot with pregnant women and they all want to know about the very best music to listen to during their pregnancy. Of course I always tell them that their voice singing to their unborn child is the best. The mother's voice is the one that baby hears first and most often while in utero and therefore that one that makes baby feel safe.


But what about Mozart? Well, many Marketers jumped in on the whole "Mozart Effect" media blitz and said that Mozart would make your baby smarter, happier, sleep better and all kinds of wonderful things. To my knowledge, no research has ever proven or even suggested that, so decide for yourself. Mozart certainly is not going to be bad for your baby but mother's voice softly crooning to baby is undoubtedly the best!

Mozart: Good for Weddings?


As you probably know by now, I was at a family wedding in Las Vegas this past week-end and was looking for evidence of healing music everywhere I went. Not surprisingly, the only really beautiful healing music I heard was at the actual wedding. The pre-wedding music as well as the wedding music was a medley of famous classical music pieces, including Mozart. Even though the wedding was outside and the weather was a little bit "shivery," the music was beautiful and relaxing. It did truly set the tone for a spiritual and long-lasting commitment. Mozart is always a good choice for weddings. Let me know if I can help you!
