I have to be honest that I am just not a fan of classical music and have never been able to relax to those nature cds....BUT this CD has some kind of magic power to it. Twin Sisters Productions has found just the right formula for putting together a collection of relaxing music. No matter how rough the day has been after just a few minutes of this CD (or any other in the Growing Minds with Music series) I can just feel the tension disappear. A collection of music that I would highly recommend to all.

We love this CD! Understanding that most professionals believe that babies begin to hear at seven months gestation, I started playing this CD every night as I would go to sleep, when I was seven months pregnant. After my daughter was born, I continued to play this CD for her naptimes and bedtime. It rarely failed to sooth baby (and mom) to sleep. I am now expecting my second baby, and I'm starting the whole thing all over again. Let's hope this works as well for baby #2 as it did for baby #1 ! I think I'll go put this CD on...I need a nap :)

I was recently in a treatment center, which was highly stressful. In the evenings, there were times when all of the patients would try relaxation techniques after especially hard days. One person I knew brought this CD and played it for us. I've never found an instrumental CD that actually relaxes me, though I have certainly heard my share of music that tries to incorporate ocean sounds and bird calls for the sake of relaxation. But this CD is different. Finally, I was able to forget the trials of every day and find strength for the next. I couldn't wait to get home and buy my own copy. This WILL be worth your money, I can assure you!

This is my first TWIN SISTERS CD....but I can guarentee it will NOT be my last. The music on this CD is so soothing and relaxing. I am a Massage Therapist and when I have this CD playing my clients always comment on how "perfect" the music is.
I would highly recommend this CD for those of us that do Bodywork or the general population who just needs wonderful music to unwind and destress after a busy day. I have also found it quickly calms infants and children!

This CD has been putting our family to sleep every night since we brought our daughter home from the hospital almost eight years ago. We have had to give this CD to family who have heard it as well. This is the perfect balance of relaxing music, with just a taste of nature sounds. The music isn't too much like a lullabye that only the little ones enjoy it either. We have got to buy a couple more, so when our daughter goes on sleepovers she can take her copy along!

My newborn and I sit and relax to this wonderful CD. Perfect soft music for little ears.

Unfortunately, this cd follows the formula of so many other nature cd's, namely: 1. write some sappy, ..., synthesized music, 2. intersperse it with a few nature sounds, but only so the music dominates, and 3. hey! you've got a nature cd! Yeah, this stuff will put you to sleep, but only because its so bad. Actually, the first time I listened to it I was kept awake wondering why I had wasted money on such [stuff], and how much could I get for it in a yard sale. The selections all sound as if they should be theme songs for afternoon movies on Lifetime television, and if you didn't read the titles you would have a tough time telling many of them apart. The final selection is especially laughable, as it consists of grasshoppers and birds chirping in a thunderstorm (again, overshadowed by bad music). Hello, what's wrong with this picture? Bottom line, don't waste your money. I'm sorry I bought it.
