Slide29 : CLASSICAL MUSIC AND YOUR BABY Classical Music Can Affect Brain, Body, And Soul By playing classical music to your baby you can activate the neural pathways responsible for many intellectual skills. General skills such as creativity, and more specific skills such as spatial intelligence, mathematical ability, linguistic ability, and emotional intelligence are honed by the effect of listening to music. Many physical and mental functions are also affected by listening to classical music. Your baby is naturally unaware of these complex and secret processes. He is totally immersed in the simple experience of listening to the soft music that envelops him, challenging him, arousing his curiosity, and stirring a variety of emotions in him.
