I recently reviewed a sampler of the Little Music Lovers CD Series and we loved it. Most moms have heard that there may be a benefit to playing music and singing for your baby while they are still in utero. I took that advice before my son was born. One of my favorite songs of all time happens to be Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. I made sure to play it often, and of course I sang to him while he was in my belly every day. Once my son actually arrived I continued to play music and sing to him.
My son is now 18 months and I can tell you that music is a very big part of his life. I’m sure there are other mom’s who have children that are really into music but I honestly haven’t seen one that is into it quite as much as mine. He first tried to dance when he was only a few months old. Nowadays he dances at every commercial that has music, no matter what the style. He’s memorized at least the beginning beats of songs by Lady Gaga and Metallica because he recognizes them the minute they start up. He even asks to hear them! Ok and now here’s where the extreme comes in. He even dances to the rhythmic sound of my washer spinning. I told you he was really into music.
Do I think it had something to do with all the singing and music playing? Absolutely. Of course it may also have something to do with the fact that his mom played in the band at school for over 7 yrs and his dad is an accomplished musician with more than 5 cd’s under his belt. And guess where his parents met? Online in a music chat room.
Over the course of time music has changed the lives of many. It can lift you up, calm you down, and it can inspire you. Music has touched every one at some point in their lives. With all that, how can I NOT recommend that you play music to your child each and every day? I recommend Little Music Lovers to get you started. It’s a beautiful collection that you AND your child are sure to enjoy.
About The Collection
Little Music Lovers, a four CD series for children was recently released by Universal Music Classical in time for the holiday season. The music collections provide parents with an opportunity to introduce their babies and toddlers to the world around them by incorporating beautiful, thought-provoking music from the famous Decca catalog.
Little Music Lovers contains famous works by renowned composers such as Bach, Beethoven and Mozart along with well-known lullabies that will accompany little ones through all of their daily activities including play time, story time and of course, bed time.
Classical music is believed by some researchers to cause “The Mozart Effect,” a phenomenon that can potentially aid in the development of math, reasoning and memory skills, while also giving babies and toddlers a head start on learning language.

I received a sampler cd of this collection from Universal through Rolemommy.com at my request. It did not sway my opinion in any way, shape or form, as I’m a true music lover at heart. The “About” section is information provided by Universal, the rest is my own opinion.
