What are the effects of classical music on an infant?
megumi_atemu asked the question:
Does it make the infants smarter and talented than those who were not exposed to the music?
Does it affect a person’s way of thinking?
Does it affect an infant’s personality?
What are the effects of classical music to infants?
What are some performed studies about classical music?

apparently none of the supposed positive effects have ever been proved, i mean in serious studies
still, if you make a baby listen to some Mozart, he or she will clearly look more relaxed than if you have them listen to some violent rap.
It turns them into minature Algores….or is that alligators?
It will make them more calm and relaxed. They say that they will grow to have an appreciation to music and will be better at maths. What I know for sure though is that if you teach a child how to read music at the same time you teach them to read a language, they will be better at math, they will have a higher level of intellect.
They say it makes them smarter, but I’ve never cared for classical. I always played rock, metal, and rap. My 4th grader tests out at a 10th grade level. My other 2 test out high, but only 1 grade above their level. All 3 were exposed to the same music.
I guess it just depends on the kid
i don’t know about studies en mass about classical music and infants but i did play various classical music pieces for children when my son was little
i bought a CD with ‘peter and the wolf’ (Prokofiev) and ‘carnival of the animals’ by sans saint for just a few pounds.
he much preferred the carnival one because we could practice doing all the different animals together right from the age of 2.
he is now 8 and considered very bright - so on a sample of one - it did follow that playing classical music to him - he was bright later on
but if it hadn’t been the case? well no harm done either
It is just soothing to them. That is all.
I don’t know about the long term effects, but I do know that it does soothe them. Just don’t play any of those clashing banging songs such as the 1812 Overture.
Because music is connected so closely with language, music helps in developing language skills latter on. Not only that, but music is older and more basic than any verbal languge, cutting beyond auditory symbols, stright to emotions and pure cognitive relationships.
Classical music, of course developes, and if played repeatedly to an infant, the infant will subconciously pickup on these musical developements (ie. variations, etc…). This will wire their young minds permeniently for some amazing abilityies in the future, from problem solving, puzzle working, to higher creativity, and beyond.
I need no scientific studies to show me these things, I have already proven them. They are real effects, I have studied these myself first hand.
Classical music is the greatest achivment of mankind.
