![]() Here's my main problem: I don't know anything about classical music. Sure, sometimes the luster of classical music in our tiny apartment is a little tarnished when a bouncy sonata turns an infant meltdown into a grotesque funhouse, or when just ten seconds of MIDI Beethoven's 5th Symphony conjures scenes from A Clockwork Orange, but on the whole, yeah, it's good. They make things just a little more pleasant and are probably more palatable to my infant son than my previous musical predilections (Misfits, Samhain, Danzig). As it turns out, science still can't agree on whether or not classical music is the big red smarts-switch for all babies, but that hasn't kept what seems like 100% of children's toy companies from including classical music in every piece of plastic possible.Įven if they don't come with an ironclad guarantee of an IQ boost, the classical tunes are a welcome addition around the house. ![]() It might not make my baby cool or funny (whoa, Beethoven superfans, I'm not saying it won't), but a little Mozart, a little Bach? Those would be just the ticket to make any ol' baby the smartest in the room. ![]() Cool, funny, and smart stuff.īefore I had a baby - even before I knew a baby was a thing I might ever be interested in putting together - the world had already told me about how to make a baby smart: classical music. If pressed, I guess I'd take any two of those things, but mostly I just want him to know stuff. ![]() My ultimate hope for him is that he is smart. I want him to like all the best things, know all the best things, experience all the best things. ![]()
