New Age Vibe

A special concert for Pregnant Moms and Babies

by shankar on February 22nd, 2008

Anjelika AkbarIt’s interesting when I came to know a concert is dedicated to pregnant women and their babies on Sunday Feb.17 at Bogazici University. A famous Turkish pianist Anjelika Akbar (herself is pregnant) planned for this concert to please those city-ridden moms.

A believer in musical therapy, she said, “I believe specifically in big cities most pregnant women work and the best way to decrease their work stress is music.” Akbar’s repertoire on Sunday evening will consist of “the most peaceful and relaxing samples” of her classical repertoire. “During the concert I’ll improvise with the themes women inspire me with at that moment,” said Akbar. The music was carefully chosen by Akbar to help babies yet to be born to better develop while the music “touches” them and reaches their developing ears. The reverberations of music are just as necessary as nourishment for developing embryos, Akbar said. “Music is a vibration and a baby needs clean and beautiful vibrations as much as it needs vitamins, protein and minerals, because what is inside me is not just a human body, but also a soul or spirit,” said Akbar. If babies hear music while in their mother’s womb, the transition to the outside world will also be made smoother, Akbar said. When the baby is born and listens to music he or she will recognize the tones, making it peaceful and happy. “Those tones will sound to his ears as familiar as the sound of his mother and father,” said Akbar. Akbar recommends to all pregnant women a steady auditory diet of the classics Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Chopin. She said soothing New Age music and Indian Ragas are appropriate for women who enjoy more ethnic or oriental music
