Working on pre natal music stimulation has been so amazing! The best time to begin to attend music classes is when the woman is on the 4th or 5th month of pregnancy. During the class they play rhytms with different percussion instruments listening baroque music or our own folk music. It is important to try to register if the baby moves with certain instrument or music. They sing lullabies and dance with music. They have a relaxation time listening to a story accompanied by previous selected music, so it helps to really imagine and feel.
Babies born with music in the laboring room, preferently the one that their mothers listened for a long period of time, and the same music will help to relax the baby and keep him peaceful. The babies become more tolerant, perceptive, develop skills easier and best if they continue with their music lessons. It helps to enjoy even more the child's raising. Music becomes an essential tool for home environement and harmony between parents and child.
