Majors for Minors CD Competition

*ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED*

At Majors for Minors we have invested in extensive research in order to understand how certain types of classical music stimulates brain development. This research allowed us to develop our own unique formula consisting of a number of KEY ELEMENTS that, when effectively combined, create our special series of classical music.

The Majors for Minors CD’s use ONE UNIQUE KEY throughout their music, which has a calming effect on the developing brain, similar to that of “PINK NOISE” or “OCEAN SOUNDS”. Some of the flute instrument FREQUENCIES are almost Identical to the frequency of a whale call – known to calm and stimulate the developing brain.

Other special elements have been incorporated throughout the music to develop, strengthen and stimulate the growing brain. Well documented research has demonstrated the positive effect of music on the development and strengthening of patterns in the cortex in the brains of infants and young children. These pathways are also responsible for certain cognitive functions and higher learning (maths and science).


What are the benefits from using Majors for Minors?

  • Strengthens and develops your child’s brain, and helps her develop key skills such as reasoning and thinking, as well as areas of higher learning such as maths and science.
  • Enhances auditory development, i.e. her ability to listen, to learn through sound, to identify sounds and sequences of sounds, to store, process and remember what she hears, to distinguish volume and pitch and to develop rhythm.
  • Reduces hyperactivity and sleep disorders in babies and children. Also improves attention, concentration and handwriting in young children.

Veronique Photography Feature and Giveaway

 

*ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED*

Today I am featuring the lovely Veronique Mills on my blog. Veronique is a talented local photographer, who is very passionate about what she does, she believes that a photograph can capture a certain moment in time and portray great emotion.

I believe art is a personal experience. It gives me the greatest feeling of achievement when people look at my photos and experience the captured essence and feel of a moment in time.

Newborns are one of her favourite subjects, she feels that there is something so special in capturing those first few days of a little baby’s life, something a parent treasures forever! Her newborn photographic studio, Veronique Photography, is based in Kenridge, Cape Town.

I love all things baby and have bought some great props for my newborn shoots.

During her newborn photo sessions Veronique’s aim is to ensure that your precious bundle of joy is happy at all times! She has a heater to keep them warm, white noise to soothe them and lots of blankies, props and hats to make the whole experience magical. Her recommendation is to capture your little one within the first 5-8 days after birth, as they tend to be more sleepy and less likely to wake up or cry.
