''Having that infant listen to soothing music helps those trillions of brain connections to develop.''Īctually, some experts do question Mr. ''No one questions that listening to music at a very early age affects the spatial, temporal reasoning that underlies math and engineering and even chess,'' the Governor said today. Miller, a Democrat, proposed as part of his $12.5 billion state budget on Tuesday to spend $105,000 to make music available to each of the approximately 100,000 children born in Georgia each year.
Miller, a devoted fan of country and bluegrass music, is convinced that Bach and Mozart can stimulate brain development at very early ages. The music would not be intended to soothe the frayed nerves of parents getting their first doses of sleep-deprivation from their colicky babies. Zell Miller wants to throw in a little something extra: a cassette tape or compact disc of classical music.
As it is, newborn children in Georgia often come home from the hospital with a bag of free goodies: baby wipes, diapers, instructions about breast feeding and immunizations.
