    Description

    Many parents wonder whether playing music for their babies will make them smarter. And there's no doubt that music is good for babies — it can lift their spirits, calm them down and maybe even lull them to sleep. But the benefits of music on baby’s growth go much deeper: Music may actually change the way your child's brain develops. What's more, babies and toddlers love music — squirming, swaying or dancing to songs they like, smiling when a favorite tune is playing in the background, and banging on toys (or pots and pans) to make their own music, baby-style.DOES LISTENING TO MUSIC WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT AFFECT BABY IN THE WOMB?Parents obviously want the best for their little ones, and providing an enriched prenatal environment is a good way to get started. But experts don’t agree on whether playing music while you’re pregnant has any positive impact on baby’s cognitive development. We do know that a fetus' hearing develops by the end of the second trimester, so in fact, celebrating your obsession with Mozart too often could theoretically disrupt your little one's sleep. Not to mention that getting too hung up on playing classical music while your baby is still in the womb could be the earliest form of overcontrolling parenting.Thus far, we have no reason to believe that playing music for your baby-to-be is going to get him straight As or membership to Mensa — but that doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile. Singing him lullabies in utero or stroking your tummy while listening to Bach is a great way to bond with your baby before he's even born. Plus it fosters an early love for all things music. Just try not to overdo it.WHAT EFFECTS DOES MUSIC HAVE ON YOUR BABY’S BRAIN?While there’s no definitive stance on the benefits of playing music while you're pregnant, once your little one enters babyhood, the evidence suggests that music starts to prime the brain from a very young age. By 7 months, babies can detect an underlying beat in music, and by 9 months, they can notice slight differences in timing. Research suggests that music may enhance a baby’s mood, reduce stress and help him fall asleep. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Works of classical repertoire often exhibit complexity in their use of orchestration, counterpoint, harmony, musical development, rhythm, phrasing, texture, and form. Whereas most popular styles are usually written in song form, classical music is noted for its development of highly sophisticated instrumental musical forms, like the concerto, symphony and sonata. Classical music is also noted for its use of sophisticated vocal/instrumental forms, such as opera. In opera, vocal soloists and choirs perform staged dramatic works with an orchestra providing accompaniment.Longer instrumental works are often divided into self-contained pieces, called movements, often with contrasting characters or moods. For instance, symphonies written during the Classical period are usually divided into four movements:( 1) An opening Allegro in sonata form, a slow movement,a minuet or scherzo (in a triple metre, such as 34), and a final Allegro.These movements can then be further broken down into a hierarchy of smaller units: first sections, then periods, and finally phrases.Performers who have studied classical music extensively are said to be "classically trained". This training may come from private lessons from instrument or voice teachers or from completion of a formal program offered by a Conservatory, college or university, such as a Bachelor of Music or Master of Music degree (which includes individual lessons from professors). In classical music, "...extensive formal music education and training, often to postgraduate [Master's degree] level" is required.Performance of classical music repertoire requires a proficiency in sight-reading and ensemble playing, harmonic principles, strong ear training (to correct and adjust pitches by ear), knowledge of performance practice (e.g., Baroque ornamentation), and a familiarity with the style/musical idiom expected for a given composer or musical work (e.g., a Brahms symphony or a Mozart concerto).The key characteristic of European classical music that distinguishes it from popular music and folk music is that the repertoire tends to be written down in musical notation, creating a musical part or score. This score typically determines details of rhythm, pitch, and, where two or more musicians (whether singers or instrumentalists) are involved, how the various parts are coordinated. The written quality of the music has enabled a high level of complexity within them: fugues, for instance, achieve a remarkable marriage of boldly distinctive melodic lines weaving in counterpoint yet creating a coherent harmonic logic.The use of written notation also preserves a record of the works and enables Classical musicians to perform music from many centuries ago.Although Classical music in the 2000s has lost most of its tradition for musical improvisation, from the Baroque era to the Romantic era, there are examples of performers who could improvise in the style of their era. In the Baroque era, organ performers would improvise preludes, keyboard performers playing harpsichord would improvise chords from the figured bass symbols beneath the bass notes of the basso continuo part and both vocal and instrumental performers would improvise musical ornaments.Johann Sebastian Bach was particularly noted for his complex improvisations. During the Classical era, the composer-performer Mozart was noted for his ability to improvise melodies in different styles. During the Classical era, some virtuoso soloists would improvise the cadenza sections of a concerto. During the Romantic era, Beethoven would improvise at the piano.classical music ,classical music news ,classicalmusicworldusic youtube ,classical music composers ,classical music radio ,music history ,classicalmusic lover ,classicalmusicblog ,classical music downloads ,classical music concerts ,classical music for babies ,classical music for studying ,classical music for kids ,classical music online ,classical music of...
