Mozart is amazing!

A study from 1998 at the Univ. of Wisconsin in Oshkosh shows that, "Music exposure initiated at an early age enhances spatial performance in rats similar to results found in humans." This study compared the effects of minimalist music, noise, and a Mozart Sonata to test rats' performance in a maze. Of course, the rats who consistently listened to Mozart performed faster and completed the maze more easily. Our children need exposure to high-quality music starting at an early age with order and predictable rhythm. Crazy noise and irregular beats, too much monotony, and, of course, the often questionable lyrics of many popular rock songs are not conducive to intelligent thinking and learning. You are making a great choice by involving your child in great musical experiences that will create a much better environment for their long-term development!
