Friday morning babies enjoying scarf play at Kindermusik With Suzanne

Music has the ability to communicate in a way that goes far beyond our imagination. It can transfer a musical language containing all kinds of emotional and educational messages which can be understood unconciously by all babies worldwide, regardless of race or ethnic background. By presenting your baby the right mix of styles, melody, harmony and rhythm, the brain is stimulated into creating more connections, providing your baby a head start in life in various ways.

Are certain types of music better for my baby to listen to than others?

Yes. It is very important to choose the right music to play for your baby. Choosing the wrong music can have negative effects. Contrary to what most people believe, you should not play classical music for babies, as it was originally intended for grownups. Most recordings are too fast and too intense to be absorbed by a baby in a good way. However, by changing the orchestration and tempo, classical music can be successfully adapted for babies, offering wonderful benefits. As a parent, you need to avoid recordings that give no consideration to how babies will respond to the music. Kindermusik ensures that all music is adapted to suit baby’s sensitive young ears.
