"Inside some monthly orchestrations, September is also
referred to as 'Classical Music Month.' When I first read
of this the association all I could think of was how instrumental
the role of classical music has been not only in my life but in the
life of my son as well. I remember long ago learning that the fetus
will smile when the mother-to-be plays Vivaldi. This has been
proven on ultra-sounds and sonograms. The little baby in utero will
literally smile when the melodies of any Vivaldi arrangement or
suite is played softly nearby. Likewise, classical music can soothe
even the most cranky or colicky child. The delicate sounds of
soothing lullabies and calming musical arrangements have been
proven to help a baby unwind and relax while teaching it the
tremendously important act of falling asleep without any parental
intervention. You don't need to take my word for it. Hospital
neo natal units and nurseries such as Duke Medical Center and
Shands Children's Hospital all use the sounds of classical
music to create a serene and subdued environment that help even the
fussiest of babies to find solace before falling off to slumber. So
the next time your crying child has you pulling your hair out, why
not hit the exact right chord by pulling out a classical music CD
instead!"
