Each day, researchers and scientists are discovering new ways music influences mental and physical development.

Music is a “first language” we share with our child and is the first step to communication and parental bonding.
Quick Facts
  • A baby in the womb can hear sounds after approximately 20 weeks
  • Fetuses can hear and react to sound by moving
Early Exposure to Music Proved to Be Essential
Children should be exposed to music as early as possible. Scientific
studies show that music is the foundation that encourages all areas of
development. Mentally it helps shape memory and language, and
physically, it introduces rhythm and coordination.

The right products can make a big difference in how children can enjoy and interact with music. Ritmo Pregnancy and Groovio are two products developed specifically with a Child’s audio enjoyment in mind.
The Benefits of Music are Endless.

Listening to music improves:

Concentration
Develops focus and vital learning skills

Coordination
Develops a sense of rhythm and motor skills

Relaxation
Music therapy studies show that music lowers heart rate and blood pressure

Patience
Develops valuable listening skills

Self-Confidence
Singing and playing music builds confidence and encourages self expression
Listening and Then Playing Music
Research on the benefits of children learning a musical
instrument is overwhelming. Musical ability leads to better
reading and math scores, higher IQ scores and pattern
recognition.

The earlier you expose your child to music, the more likely
they will take an interest in playing a musical instrument.
Nuvo has a line of products designed specifically to introduce music as early as possible and throughout various stages of development.
Music Benefits by the Numbers
Children that listen to music and play instruments perform better on
college entrance examinations.

The Benefits of Listening to and Playing Music
Studies find links between music instruction and academic achievement as measured by standardized tests.

Regardless of socioeconomic background, music-making students get higher marks in standardized tests.

Research shows that music training significantly and specifically enhances spatial-temporal reasoning in young children.

Researchers find that music is a superior way to teach elementary students the concept of fractions.

Taking piano lessons and solving math puzzles on a computer significantly improves specific math skills of elementary school children, according to a study by University of California.

Piano instruction is thought to enhance the brain’s ‘hard-wiring’ for spatial-temporal reasoning, or the ability to visualize and transform objects in space and time.

Preschool children who were given six months of piano keyboard lessons improved dramatically on spatial-temporal reasoning.

Practicing the piano in early childhood expands the mind, literally altering the anatomy of the brain.
