As a musician, of course I've already given some thought as to how my baby will grow up with music and especially in music making. But during the days he or she is in my wife's womb, I'm curious as to what he hears.
We always hear things about how babies should hear classical music while they're in the womb, which results to more intelligent kids. I don't think it's just made up. I mean, I know how complicated it is to create classical music so I bet people who hear it can at the very least get some of that "intelligent creativity" embedded in timeless pieces of orchestra music.
I remember my friend telling me he experimented on it and the kid who listened to classical music turned out to be an A student all the way, while the other one who was exposed to alternative types of music struggles in school. So I guess there really is some truth to it! :)
Studies say (so I've been told) that metal and hard rock gives the opposite to the baby compared to classical but of course, it's not like they turn out bad or anything. I really don't know.
What I wonder now is... what can be the effect of my baby hearing a lot of electronic music :) I mean, I remember one time we were driving and I was playing some tech house in the car and Bernice goes, "the baby's dancing now!" I'm hoping he/she will turn out good in math the opposite of how the dad is hehehe why? Well, with the 4 to the floor sound of house, the bpms, and the structure and sound that seems like a clock ticking with precision, I'm thinking it would be awesome if the effect of house music turns out to be in the calculations and exact measurements and such hehe But that's just me.
At the end of the day, he/she still gets the classical dose from time to time so I hope the balance helps. But then again, he/she will grow up in a music-filled home and I do hope he/she gets into it :)
