But I believe that the old is still new. The music of Mozart and Tchaikovsky is just as fresh today as when it was written centuries ago. Not only that, but there is a proven physiological effect from this music as well. Harvard University Medical School neurobiologist Mark Jude Tramo is quoted in the Los Angeles Times as saying, Undeniably, there is a biology of music. There is no question that there is specialization within the human brain for the processing of music.
Music is biologically part of human life, just as music is anesthetically part of human life.
Studies have shown that introducing the very young child to classical music, especially to that of Mozart and his contemporaries in the last half of the eighteenth century, can actually heighten a child s mental skills. A simple tape or CD player is all you need. Don t lead your child to music, you let the music come to him. Many a potential music lover has been forever lost due to forced listening. Simply have music playing in the house when the child is present.
