Classical Music For Babies
♫ Tuesday, May 25th, 2010The well known Mozart Effect was first published in 1993 by the University of California’s scientists at Irvine. Such controversial publication replicated further in the 1995 by the same group. It was started with their study on some college students. Those who listened to the piano sonata that is composed by the well known classical composer, Wolfgang Amadues Mozart, for a few minutes before having a test performed better than those who didn’t listen.
However, this particular study did not look at the Mozart effect on babies. Based on this study, politicians and the media proclaim that listening to classical music could improve someone’s physical as well as mental health and gives them many benefits. This is where they believe that classical music especially the piano sonata of Mozart could increase the intelligence of the baby.
In 1998, the Georgia governor had encouraged to freely give CDs for every mother who has just delivered her precious baby once they have checked out from the hospital in the particular state. In Florida, daycare centers were told to play classical music symphonies through their sound system.
But, other scientists tried their best to find out the true answer over such study. The result is that listening to classical music could not possibly make a baby become smarter; however such effort would definitely have the effect of calming the baby while in the mother’s womb.
Although scientists have finally stated that classical music do not have significant impact on the baby’s intelligence, as a pregnant mother you still can use it to help you relaxing and soothing your baby.
