Recommended for children of any age In the biography of every person, even if it looks like biographies of other people, there is surely something different, something unique. This, of course, refers to biographies of composers. They are all very different, but, with rare exceptions, we will find one thing in common. As a rule, composers showed their love for music very early and with a particular force. Not yet aware of their desire to music, they were entirely drawn to it. It is known that when Chopin was still a little boy, he was ready to sit for hours at the feet of his mother, when she played different dances on the piano and sang Polish folk songs.. Sometimes children drawn to music, who later became great musicians, invented such musical entertainment, that it is impossible to tell about them without a smile today. Glinka's favorite pastime, when he was a kid, was beating with anything over copper dishes of different sizes. In this way, Glinka tried to imitate his favorite bell chime. And Rimsky-Korsakov in his memoirs writes that when he was three - four years old he was good at beating a toy drum, accompanying with this drumbeat the music, which his father played on the piano. In my childhood I loved to do the same. I turned all containers which came at hand upside down: pots, buckets, pans and would beat on them, imagining that I played the drumset, until all the neighbors came running. Clearly, it all happened while parents were away... This is because all people are drawn with their souls to the energy of the sounds of music. Modern science has proven that sound is an extraordinary source of energy, and high-frequency sounds (from 5000 Hz to 8000Hz) have a beneficial effect on the formation of child’s mental and physical health. The same frequency contributes to the formation of trillion synapses (links that connect the brain nerve cells) in the first years of life ... The crickets chirping has a frequency of about 5000Hz. Birds singing - around 8000Hz. In the range between them vibrates water element (the sound of sea waves, mountain stream, rain ...), voices of dolphins, whales, etc. The same frequency has classical music. Combining music with the sounds of nature, we get the most effective remedy for restoring and maintaining mental and physical health. We will dwell about this more in a mini-book for children. Moreover, my book will focus on the development of imagination in children. For example, let your baby listen to Schumann's "By the fireplace” which I complemented with the sound of a real fire. Upon listening ask him the question: "How do you think is this work called?" Or, after listening to "Shepherd plays" from "Children's Album" by Claude Debussy ask the kid to tell which animals and birds voices he heard there, and so on and so forth. Happy childhood to you, kids. With Love, Uncle Stepa.
