Very interesting. I should try it on my baby (and two older kids.) I got zilch as far a musical genes but I do love beautiful music. Maybe one of them would get some musical ability benefit from it.
Although I am 38 now I still have a deep relationship with this music.
It's embedded into your brain.
Yep! It is somehow a "basic" program. Something like my very own "operating system". Just like the "DOS", "Linux" or "Windows" on our computers, but much more beautiful.
It doesn't matter if we talk about Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Beethoven or other good composers. They were all kissed by God. Therefore their music is the best we can give to our children.
When I was a baby, I spent a lot of time around my Aunt (my Dad's younger sis). She played the piano, and according to all accounts, I used to sit "under" the piano while she was playing when I was a toddler.
I went on to "beg" my parents to allow me to take piano lessons; I ended up taking lessons for thirteen years (including college).
So, my earlier comments regarding my puppy aside, I truly believe that early exposure to music probably does have a long term effect on children.
