Studies have shown that classical music has a powerful effect on the intellectual and creative development of babies from the very youngest ages to:
- regulate natural body rhythms
- aid memory development
- stimulate rhythmic movement
- reduce the stress of new life
- enhance auditory and emotional awareness
- induce relaxation and sleep
Don Campbell, musician, teacher and author of the best-selling books The Mozart Effect and The Mozart Effect for Children, has selected some of the best of Mozart's music to stimulate and inspire young minds, improve intelligence, and help develop the IQ.
Based on scientific and psychological studies and up-to-date research in learning and creativity, the music on each of these recordings has been carefully selected according to tempo, key signatures, colour and texture in order to provide a rich listening and learning experience for all children.
The Mozart Effect Music for Newborns – A Bright Beginning – Features the music of Mozart specially selected to awaken and stimulate the brain, engage baby's attention and inspire active play followed by soothing serenades to gently carry the new infant (and new parent) to restful, rhythmic sleep.
The CD includes excerpts from Night Music No. 1, Serenade No. 10 in B Major, Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star), Sinfonie in D (Leopold Mozart), Rondo in C Major, plus many more.
