Mozart's Magnificent Voyage , which is the latest CD recording by Classical Kids , is a story of his child life of genius and his early death. Well, there was one credible tie in that he had a son. When Mozart died, this son was seven years old. Classical music is complex, and recent studies suggest it can help children in their cognitive development. More important, says Susan Hammond, classical music can be fun when it is presented along with a narrative story line.
Children are very dreamy.
They're very imaginative. You look at a child on its mother's or father's lap when a story is being read to it. You could talk until you're hoarse. They want to hear those stories. They want to spin those pictures in their mind.
