Majors for Minors CD 9 Mozart for Minors

"The Mozart Effect" represents:

•  The use of music and the arts to improve the health of families and communities;
• The general use of music to improve memory, awareness and integration of learning
• The innovative and experimental use of music to improve listening and attention
• The therapeutic uses of music for mental and physical disorders and injuries;
• The collective uses of music for imagery and visualisation, to activate creativity

Research has shown that by listening to Mozart’s Music one can expect to:

• Improve test marks;
• Reduce learning time;
• Calm hyperactivity;
• Reduce errors;
• Improve creativity & clarity;
• Integrate both sides of the brain for more efficient learning.

As a leading innovator of music stimulation for babies and children, Majors for Minors has combined Mozart’s music with our UNIQUE FORMULA, resulting in this title of Majors for Minors – Mozart for Minors.

We know how important it is to find the genius that lurks inside the mind of every child!

Majors for Minors Classically styled Music is designed to:

• Stimulate, strengthen and develop your child’s brain, and help her develop key skills such as reasoning and thinking, as well as in areas of higher learning such as Maths and Science.
• Enhance auditory development, i.e. her ability to listen, to learn through sound, to identify sounds and sequences of sounds, to store, process and remember what she hears, to distinguish volume and pitch and to develop rhythm.
• Facilitate the development of language, speech and reading skills.
• Influence mood and attention, and have a calming effect on babies and young children.

How it works

It is childhood experiences, i.e. what they hear, smell, see, feel, touch and how they are treated that “wire the brain” - help neurons connect and develop into circuits. These circuits, to a large extent pre-program personality, potential and actual achievements. Will she be bright, friendly, outgoing, confident or good at languages or maths? To a large extent, it is up to you, and how you nurture her mind!

“Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education”

- PLATO

“When a baby comes into the world her brain is a jumble of neurons all waiting to be woven into the intricate tapestry of the mind”

– Sharon Begley, Newsweek

What this means is that there are specific periods in your child’s life when neurological pathways in the brain need to be stimulated, or they will “literally fade away”. Well documented research has demonstrated the positive effect of music on the development and strengthening of patterns in the cortex in the brains infants and young children.

These pathways are the same ones responsible for certain cognitive functions, as well as higher learning such as maths and science. Dr Annette Lotter ( BA-Ed, B-Ed, M-Ed, D-Ed (RAU), D-Ind Psyc (SHL), who conducted direct research with Majors for Minors Music, has reported that this music has helped to reduce hyperactivity and sleep disorders in babies and children. Some of her latest research with this music has shown improved attention, concentration and handwriting in children, as well as children being weaned off prescription stimulants and depressants.

What Makes Majors For Minors Music Special?

At conception of our series of music, we carried out a great deal of research in understanding exactly how certain types of classical music stimulate brain development. Through understanding the process involved, we went on to develop our own “UNIQUE FORMULA”, consisting of a number of “KEY INGREDIENTS” that effectively used together, produced this special series of classical music. For example, a number of the CDs have been produced with the use of one key throughout. This has the resulting effect of being similar to “Pink Noise” or “Ocean Sound” which has been shown to have a positive effect on the brain. Another of the elements is “Frequency.” In parts of our music, our Flute instrument frequencies are almost identical to the frequency of a whale call. There have been numerous documentaries and research papers into the benefits of these frequencies, which have been shown to calm and stimulate. We have greatly expanded this avenue of thinking and associated theories, and developed a further range of “SPECIAL ELEMENTS” which have been incorporated into Majors for Minors music. This unique “Ingredient List” has worked with great success, and is what sets our music apart from anything else that is available in this niche category.
