Editorial Reviews

From Parents' Choice®

Can Mozart give brainpower a boost? That's not certain, but since there's nothing uncertain about babies' responsiveness to music, why not a little milk 'n' Mozart? This release comes with nifty suggestions for thoughtful and fun listening activities. A 1999 Parents' Choice Approval. (Lynne Heffley, Parents' Choice, 1999)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Collection of Classical Music, August 6, 2006

This review is from: Build your baby's brain through the power of Mozart: Brain 2 (Audio CD)

This is a fantastic CD of beautiful music. It is uplifting and soothing at the same time. I have several good classic music compilations CDs, but this is my favorite and the one that gets played daily! When the littlest one is napping, it goes on. When I'm cooking, it goes on. When we have the TV off and the kids are playing games or making puzzles, it is on! It stays in my kitchen CD player so at a touch of a button, lovely music can fill the house.

Check out the samples above (my [...] especially likes #5, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star). It is not "children's music," a disc of lullabies, or something to reserve for baby shower gifts. I cannot say enough good things about this disc! This is great music that makes you feel good - if it is building our brains too, all the better! Try it and enjoy :)

This review is from: Build your baby's brain through the power of Mozart: Brain 2 (Audio CD)

This cd is great because unlike other classical music cds made for babies, this one even adults can enjoy. Sometimes they change the song so that it sounds more like something a baby will appeal too, but this one just keeps the original song format which means even people without babies would be able to enjoy some of Mozart's classics.

This review is from: Build your baby's brain through the power of Mozart: Brain 2 (Audio CD)

We played this CD to our newborn and really enjoy it. And it's not just for babies. This is the kind of classical music that works so well while the kids paint, do homework or engage on any activity that requires quiet time. I have heard other Mozart CDs for babies, but they don't have as good orchestral arragements as this one.
