Why Mozart with babies?


This past week I was speaking at a hospital in New York and the subject was "The Importance ofMusic with Pregnancy, Preemies, and Newborns." The topic arose as to whether playing Mozart was better for unborn children than singing lullabies. My opinion, based on all the research I have read is that the mother singing lullabies or any soft, sweet songs is always the best. Every baby loves his own mother's voice the best because that is the voice that has been with him from the moment of conception. That voice is asociated with safety, security, and nurturing. Please pass this information on to someone you love!
