In Baby Mozart, children enjoy a happy introduction to one of the essential musical canons: that of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The arrangements here, designed with a baby's attention span in mind, employ silly sound effects to reengage babies when their focus inevitably slips. Real-world objects provide concrete visual cues and anchor the child's attention. The format affords opportunities to teach babies words and develop such concepts as color, size, and scale, as well as basic counting. The producers note research suggesting a relationship between exposure to Mozart's music and increases in spatial-reasoning abilities and intelligence. Studies also suggest that classical music hath charms to soothe the savage beast -- or at least affect health in positive ways. It certainly can't hurt; and if a baby finds it pleasing and/or soothing, that's enough
