Shopping cartWant to make your children smarter? Then you'll have to do better than just playing them a CD - despite the outlandish claims of some record labels, there really is no evidence that listening to Mozart makes anyone clever.
But why would you need some external reason for exposing your children to classical music? Here's the best reason of all - there's lots and lots of amazing classical music out there, and both you and they will enjoy listening to it. What more could you ask for?
