LISTEN, LEARN & GROW
Babies and infants respond to sounds and enjoy music instinctively. Scientific research has verified that the ear is the first organ to be fully functional, being completely formed when the fetus is four and a half months old. This is why music may provide an important ingredient to children’s early brain development.
The music presented in this series is meant to last a lifetime; a lifetime of listening, learning and growing.
