The Mozart Effect
Studies have shown that the music of Mozart has a powerful effect on the intellectual and creative development of children. Studies show that playing music early in life helps build the neural pathways that allow language, memory, and spatial development to take place. We know that stimulating linguistic rhymes, dances, movement, and play in the early years are essential to the foundation of bringing the emotions, mind, and body together. Music can be effective in study and assist in concentration.
