Babies/Toddlers Music Circle
Studies show that listening to music helps build music-related pathways in the brain
which aid in cognitive function later in life.
Did you know that between 4 and 7 months, infants display a sense of musical phrasing.
They prefer Mozart minuets with pauses between phrases to those with awkward breaks (Krumvansl & Jusczyk, 1990).
Around 6 to 7 months, they can distinguish musical tunes on the basis of variations i rhythmic patterns, including beat structure (duple or triple)
and accent structure (emphasis on the first note of every beat unit or at other positions) (Hannon & Johnson, 2004).
And by the end of the first year, infants recognize the same melody when it is played in different keys (Trehub, 2001).
