Researchers at Harvard University’s Music Lab once found that English-speaking infants in the U.S. relaxed at the sound of foreign lullabies. In other words, they concluded, the babies didn’t need to recognize the language they were hearing in order to experience the benefits of music.
And no wonder. Music is, in itself, a universal language. We dance to it, sing to it. We’re united by it.
