Stress has been found to affect babies and mothers adversely. Therefore, it is important to release stress on a regular basis to offset any negative outcome. The language of music is non-verbal, easily accessible to everyone regardless of education, race, age, etc.
Parents can directly convey their feelings of love through their chosen music.
Being loved and wanted, forms our first intimate relationship with another being, one on which all other relationships will be based in the future. The vibrations of the instruments used can be felt directly on the body because sound waves travel through matter, which includes our physical bodies. The choice of instruments as well as pitch level and intensity each has an impact on mother and baby in the womb. Stories of mothers having to leave a rock concert because of the intensity of the bands are well known. Melodies are expressive of our emotions and carry this energy to the baby.
