Rick Beato believes that exposing babies/young kids to jazz helps them gain perfect pitch. There is something about music and the brain, many musicians are also brilliant, and vice versa, many brilliant people studied music.
We listen to classical music every morning. Good!
Awesome, Mozart is my favorite.
That explains why I have no dementia at age 85.
But I think it is more due to relentless daily exercise.
Everyone does I think, but I love to watch my grandkids dancing to music and pretending to be rock stars.
My mother had quite of a collection of classical records. I didn’t care for opera, but many instrumentals I liked quite a bit. Mussorgsky’s “Night On Bald Mountain” pretty intense I thought at the time. Many others, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, etc.
Nice! My drums are LP Performer Series. I have a 11” quinto and a 11.75” conga, tuned to G and E respectively. Also some Meinl “Headliner” bongos, and a Remo Mondo Djembe, 12”.
:-)
Dad was born in Italy, so my earliest listening was Italian opera. As an old picker told me, “There’s no such thing as bad music, just bad musicians.”
I’m so old I actually had one!
“And don’t eat the yellow snow!”.
All of that is well and good, until you start losing your hearing.
Truth.
A bomb shelter becomes a listening studio! How cool is that?
Oh, animals love music! Here is a video of an 80 year old elephant who comes out of the jungle with a man to listen to him playing a piano. Debussy’s “Claire de Lune” one of my favorite classical pieces.
Sorry, here it is :

I think the Mamas and Poppas did “Dream a little dream for me”. I liked that song.
I have 60% hearing loss. No one can stand to be with me in a car with a cd blasting, the volume on 10. Maybe the cause of my hearing loss, but I love good music, and loud!
