WHAT MUSIC LISTEN TO DURING THE PREGNANCY
There is a lot of research on this topic, but no less than the beliefs of the people. Which playlist to choose for the expectant mother, so that the baby was in favor and to his own satisfaction?
Already in the fifth month of pregnancy, the baby hears and distinguishes sounds. It can respond to the volume and rhythm of the melody. He may like it or not. And, through the neuroendocrine system, music affects almost all systems and organs of the child: changes in respiratory rate, muscle tone, motility of the stomach and intestines. It is also proven that babies recognize, react more actively and prefer the music that they "heard" before birth, while in the womb. Pregnancy is not only the formation of a child, but also an incredible chance to influence the intelligence, creative and musical abilities of your baby, to stimulate his cognitive and emotional development.
By the way, about intelligence. According to a study by American scientists, only ten minutes of listening to Mozart's piano music increases the IQ by an average of 8-9 units. The group of people tested included people who love Mozart's music and those who are completely indifferent to it. But Russian scientists IM Sechenov, SP Botkin and IL Pavlov found that with the help of music you can regulate the asynchronous rhythms that appear in the brain during stress.
MUSIC recommended to listen to:
to relieve tension - Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", Haydn's "Symphony", "Cantata № 2" and Bach's "Italian Concerto";
from a headache - Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody", Beethoven's "Fidelio", Gershwin's "American in Paris";
from insomnia - "Sad Waltz" by Sibelius, "Melody" by Gluck, "Dreams" by Schumann, plays by Tchaikovsky;
for reassurance - "Lullaby" by Brahms, "Light of the Moon" by Debussy, "Ave Maria" by Schubert;
from hypertension - "Nocturne in D minor" by Chopin, "Concerto in D minor for violin" by Bach.
If you have apathy or depressed mood during pregnancy, if the baby sucks sluggishly and poorly, experts recommend so-called stimulating (toning) programs. These are works by the same Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi, but at the pace of allegro or allegro moderato.
The positive effect of these musical works was felt by many pregnant women. But, as audiologists recommend, when listening to melodies, first of all, you should focus on your own musical preferences. Do you like violin, organ, piano or symphonic music? Or maybe you prefer church music (not for nothing is it called spiritual)? Decide for yourself. Experiment. Maybe, while you are still pregnant, you will be able to develop your child's associative thinking: fast music sounds - you need to eat, slow - sleep, etc.
And when a baby is born, you need to follow a few simple rules when listening to music. The tape recorder is located at a distance of at least one meter from the crib or playpen, and the sound of music should not exceed the volume of spoken language. Under no circumstances wear headphones on newborns (the risk of acoustic injuries is very high). So remember: great is what great in moderation! And don't forget that you have a voice - this unique instrument that is always with you. Sing! Sing to your children for at least three years when they go to bed, and continue to sing to them for another five minutes after falling asleep. According to the Bulgarian psychotherapist P. Randev, this will help them to be balanced, calm and friendly people in the future. And we ourselves would be nice to listen to lullabies at night, as their action is more effective than medication. Sleep under the influence of lullabies is especially strong and deep.
