As early as the sixth month of pregnancy, unborn babies are able to hear sounds. Language, singing and music can now have a formative impact on them. How can I positively influence the development of my baby during pregnancy by music? Which songs can I sing to my child during this time? How can music help me prepare for the birth of my baby? Which music is my baby going to like in the first months of his or her life? The author gives expectant mothers answers to this and many other questions, showing them how to manage their first contact with the child through music. This book contains songs (on CD), classical music, relaxation exercises, and scientific background information. Dr. Carla Häfner is a physician and mother of three children. Music has been a constant in her life since her childhood. She is the author of various songbooks and picture-books for the little ones.
