Music makes a big difference to the baby brain. Neuroscientists who study baby brains say music has long-lasting benefits for babies. One study from the Institute of Learning and Brain Sciences detected that after babies listen to music, their auditory and prefrontal cortexes look different. Studies have shown that exposing your baby to music can speed up the process of them learning to speak and help your baby master complex language concepts faster. Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together.
