Some Criteria You Should Know
There are many different kinds of classical music out there, some of which are not appropriate for children. Wagnerian opera, for example, is probably too loud and violent for children. Parents should be careful because some classical compositions could overstimulate or bore children.
Experts like those at the American Music Therapy Association have compiled a list of attributes that classical songs for children should possess. These characteristics include:
A steady beat. Songs with a lot of vocals will not help babies because they lack a beat.
A steady and regular rhythm. Music without a steady rhythm can stimulate children, but it will not relax them nor will it encourage the development of memory skills.
The song should be fairly simple and easy to understand. Orchestral works and operas are often simply too complex for young children to grasp. In particular, look for works with no vocals that utilize only one or two instruments.
