Having children of my own, I'm passionate about writing music for children, and current research is proving that certain music positively affects children’s development.  Research shows that music has the potential to enhance learning and development in children, babies and foetus'. A baby in its mother's womb is able to hear its first sound at 24 weeks and will soon after start to recognise the mothers voice. These studies also show that upon hearing the mothers voice, the baby's heart rate decreases.  Low frequency sounds in particular resonate more strongly with the foetus.
