Before birth, a baby is immersed in a universe of sound: the mother's heartbeat, her breathing rhythm, her voice. These become the first building blocks of relational and emotional development.

Studies in perinatal neuroscience show that the auditory system develops early in gestation, and sound plays a central role in shaping affective and cognitive processes.
Prenatal sound experience fosters bonding between mother and child, and lays the foundation for future language and musical sensitivity.Studies in perinatal neuroscience show that the auditory system develops early in gestation, and sound plays a central role in shaping affective and cognitive processes.

At La Stanza del Suono, we offer dedicated programs:
0–6 years music labs, inspired by Edwin Gordon’s Music Learning Theory, encouraging musical learning through listening, movement, and sound exploration;
Prenatal sound journeys for expectant mothers, where the Celtic harp becomes a sensory and emotional support, enhancing connection with the unborn child and deepening awareness of the mother’s evolving identity.
🎶 If you wish to experience a respectful and natural musical path for you or your baby, explore our 0–6 year labs and prenatal sound experiences.
