Music in the Womb

It was Christo’s first time in class. At eight weeks old, his mother decided it was time to get back to life as usual, which included Making Music Praying Twice class that his older brother had been attending for over a year. His mom was amazed that every time I started to sing, Christo turned to me with purposeful attention. After weeks of this, we discussed it after class and his mom shared that this was a unique response. “He must know your voice from the womb!”

Continually, I find that younger siblings who started “attending” classes before birth, show amazing sensitivity to class and maintain extremely high music aptitudes. This is true of my youngest child. I taught several classes a week through my pregnancy until about 2 weeks before she was born. None of the other children had this advantage. The powerful depth of her tonal development is not a coincidence.
