The newborn has the ability to discern quality and precision of musical expression. Because of their limited experience with musical complexity, the emphasis must be on simplicity, gentle rhythms, uncomplicated harmonies, and soft tones. All of these compositions uniquely incorporate the distinctive sound of the music box.

Why we chose this music Why we chose this music
Once a baby is born, she quickly discovers a world filled with new sensations and experiences. Unlike adults, who depend mostly on seeing, babies rely on hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling. The music featured on It's a Girl! contains flowing and lyrical melodies that will hold your baby's attention. The soothing sounds of the music box, the soft rhythms and distinct melodies, and the beautiful arrangements, will provide a calming environment for your baby.
 
Music is a wonderful way to help babies sleep. The newborn has a limited experience with musical complexity, so the emphasis must be on simplicity, gentle rhythms, uncomplicated harmonies, and soft tones.
 
When my niece, Heather, had her daughter Emily, I sent her a copy of this music.  At first Heather though the music might keep Emily awake, so she was hesitant to play it at bedtime. When I asked her how Emily was enjoying the music, she had to admit that she hadn't played it yet. I assured Heather that Emily would love the music and that it might actually help her fall asleep. Since Heather was all for that, she tried it, and now firmly believes that it helps Emily go to sleep faster.

About the music and song titles About the music and song titles
You can help your baby make its way through the music with the sound and expression of your voice. Rocking your baby gently to the rhythm of the music will help the baby relax and fall asleep. Since babies also enjoy movement, swaying your baby to the music will create a soothing atmosphere. Music can provide new emotional connections for both you and your baby.
 
Music may even help strengthen premature babies. Researchers from Brigham Young University studied the effects of music on 33 premature infants. Cassette players piped voices of men and women singing lullabies into each baby's crib for 40 minutes a day for four days. When doctors examined the babies on the fourth day, they found that babies who were exposed to music gained more weight, and had lower blood pressure and a stronger heartbeat.
 
Babies seem to be able to tell a melody from speech, even if they aren't sophisticated enough to know anything about music. For example, Norman Weinberger, a cognitive sciences and psychology professor at the University of California at Irvine, says in one study, babies as young as 4 months old seemed to know when researchers played the "Happy Birthday" song incorrectly.
 
This music was arranged and produced by Georg Gabler, Felix Pando and Tato Gomez, and published by Klick Verlag AG, Switzerland.  The concept was developed by Corina Fortmann.
 
Tato Gomez was born in 1953 in Santiago, Chile. He started his musical career at the age of 9, learning to play the accordion, guitar, and bass. At Santiago University, he studied musical composition and arrangement, and was also trained as a vocalist. Gomez has a long list of accomplishments and has won numerous music awards throughout Europe. He arranged the Chilean version of "Jesus Christ Superstar," founded the band Santiago, recorded with the Dutch band Focus, produced the German band Purple Schult, and produced Austrian singer Rainhard Fendrich. Gomez performs as a studio musician internationally, and composes, arranges, and produces television productions.
