Ron, my twin 6 yr old grandsons heard classical, mostly Mozart, from birth on...they branched out to all kinds of music..their current favourite is reggae, but they still want their classical when they go to bed. They've shown really great intelligence which I am sure has been enhanced by this upbringing.

My one year old grandson who has lived with us since he was born has been exposed to all kinds including a particular one of Mozart which he just loves, BUT he seems to wide open to all kinds, too. He is esp. fond of folk and trad. Whenever he hears me start up some music on the computer he comes running and begs to be lifted up to listen. We've always tapped out the rhythms for him and now he's learned how to clap. Doesn't quite have the coordination yet to keep up witht he rhythm, but he's got the idea. He, too, has shown signs of remarkable intelligence.

With all three children, there is NO way they would be allowed to dictate choice of music when adults are present, unless it had been put to a vote or something!
