My Baby and Music

This is my princess her name is Eliot Marie

My little girl is going to be surrounded by music. While she sits in her mothers belly she can already reognize hear the rhythm and tempo of her mommy's heart. By the baby's expression people have found that babies enjoy music that is in a similar tempo of their mothers heart.

Infants recognize the melody of a song long before they understand the words.  Babies will try to mimic sounds and start moving to music as soon as it is possible for them to do so. Quiet, background music can be soothing for babies, especially at sleep time which is why it is easier for a baby to fall asleep while you  are singing to them, 

I cant wait to see my baby and sing to her until she falls asleep in my hands, and as she gets older i want her to watch cartoons that involve music like Looney Tunes. Looney Tunes was originally developed to promote music in 1929. The theme music for Looney Tunes was "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" by Cliff Friend and Dave Franklin. Hopefully she takes after her daddy and falls in love with The Peanuts Gang. I would love for her to become familliar with the Jazz music of Vincent Guaraldi. 

Music is helpful in all areas of human development: intellectual, social and emotional, motor, language, and literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together. Children can learn the sounds and meanings of words through music it can also help strengthen memory skills. I think everyone in the world would of had a more difficult time remembering something as simple as the alphabet without learning The Alphabet Song. The Alphabet Song was first copyrighted in 1835 by the Boston-based music publisher Charles Bradlee.
