Studies show that a developing brain benefits hugely from exposure to the music of the great composers. In a school for children with ADHD, Mozart was actually found to cut racing heart rates and boost concentration. Not only that, it improves cognitive function and increases creativity. So why are we isolating our children from its miraculous effects?

Music soothes the soul. My Vet has a huge boarding kennel in a separate building and plays music 24/7 for the dogs. As I walk back through it even catches my ear above the greeting barks. When I'm away and my Chows are there it warms my heart to know they are hearing the sweet classics.

Also in my travels with my son and now grandchildren I was always playing 60's music. Peter, Paul and Mary "Puff the Magic the Dragon" etc always made them tune in and want top learn. Jabbering children voices soon changed to sweet melody.

Thanks for sharing this.
