Why music?
Music therapy has been researched and published in many medical journals. One of the clearest findings is that music reduces cortisol levels and lowers our defenses in order to make new insights or process difficult emotions. Another finding in the research is that infants understand and process music in complex ways, allowing us to communicate. Plus, music is accessible and familiar. No musical experience is necessary. Also, class suitable for babies 12 months and younger.
