I have recently come across a couple of articles relating to playing music to a child prenatally, and how it benefits the child from a developmental standpoint.
The fact is that it is probably a very enjoyable experience, but one that is probably more beneficial postnatally from any type of actual stimulation. Prenatally, music is just a little too complex to serve as a curriculum for learning, and the spoken word is muffled.
We know that the one language that the child hears 24 hours a day prenatally is the maternal heartbeat. This is why the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System makes sense as an early curriculum. The sounds of BabyPlus actually encourage comparing and contrasting during those prenatal months. BabyPlus sounds are very similar to the sounds of the maternal heartbeat. As the child discriminates between the sounds of BabyPlus and the maternal heartbeat, learning is taking place.
