There is much talk about benefit of music in the intellectual and emotional development of our baby. Already from pregnancy some studies confirm the positive effect of certain types of music on our little one, but should we limit our repertoire to Mozart works or we can listen to other music like pop or rock?
For someone who loves music and spends the day singing and dancing all over the house, the idea of lying in an armchair and relaxing while playing the Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major of Mozart may be attractive at certain times, but I don't know Honestly, I personally don't feel very identified.
Shared emotions
Music is definitely a way of feeling and expressing emotions and, whether in our tripita or in our arms, our baby perceives the effect it produces on us and feels identified. If you relax and you are filled with peace classical music is very likely to also have that effect on your baby, but what happens if it bores you and seems soporific?
¿We have to listen to Mozart Just because there are studies that show positive effects on our babies? Do youWhat happens to the rest of the music?
I believe that in the end, as in everything, it is about common sense and keep in mind that the baby is especially sensitive to environmental noises and sounds and that his ear does not support some high frequencies and volumes.
It is not about taking the creature to a rock concert in a small room, crowded with people and with an infernal volume, but would you take him to a jazz concert in a park? I remember a conversation with a girl who attributed her great musical sensitivity to jazz concerts to those who came from a very young age at the hands of her parents. He claimed to remember tenderly a childhood marked by these moments when he felt very close to their parents, because they shared with her one of her greatest hobbies and made her feel special and part of them.
Defining your own style
Of course, to fully enjoy this type of activities outside the home, the child must be aware of their environment and have some intellectual maturity, but at home it is different, the music is not old. If we respect their breaks and observe their emotional response to different musical stimuli, we will soon detect what comforts you and what sounds may even be annoying.
In a short time, it will be the child himself who asks you for a certain style or starts dancing like crazy every time you put on that group he likes. The important thing is that you enjoy and that music is another resource to share with him fun family moments.
In Fisher-Price they are very aware of the benefit of music in the development and learning of the child, so many of their toys incorporate pleasant and fun melodies for the whole family. For example, the interactive learning book returns you to your childhood and invites you to enjoy with your child those children's songs that you learned in your childhood and so much you sang as a family.
