Sound Therapy Younger Children's Programs (Ages 0 - 7)

Introduce your tots to classical music while stimulating their language comprehension with age appropriate stories and poems.

Starting Sound Therapy early will help your child develop good language skills.

In early childhood, fundamental brain pathways are being laid down. The right stimulation at this crucial time will give your child the best head start for learning.

These music and story albums for children under 7 use the special Sound Therapy filtering system devised by Dr Tomatis and refined over the last 20 years by Patricia and Rafaele Joudry. This special filtering process makes this a powerful program for the ear and brain.

The Younger Children's program includes:

• 1 music and 2 story albums
• a MINI MX2 player with headphones suitable for young children
• Younger Childrens Program Instruction Guide
• Let's Recite! booklet

Sound Therapy programs and players come with a 12 month warranty and are usually shipped within 1-2 business days.

Albums in the Younger Children's Program

• Garden of Dreams: Exquisite musical selections for children by Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Delibes, Mozart, Bach, and Brahms
• Fairy Tales for Younger Children: Read by writer and former radio actress Patricia Joudry, who has a remarkable ability to engage the interest of the young child.
• Let's Recite: Poems by great authors, read by Patricia Joudry. A child learns rhyme, rhythm and metaphor, which are important fundamentals of language development. It comes with a printed booklet so the child can read along.

The children's poetry album, Let's Recite, has been a Godsend for my hearing impaired students. They love it! Their attention spans have increased dramatically since they have been listening regularly to the program. My one very hyperactive youngster has settled down to her schoolwork because she knows she can listen to the album as soon as she's finished. Sound Therapy has become a reward!

It's amazing to me that for the 35 years that I have been teaching hearing imparied children, this is the first auditory training program that uses only speech to which the children can listen comfortably. Patricia's speech is articulate and soothing. You have chosen the poems carefully so that they are amusing and hold the children's interest as well.

Player and Headphones

All our family and children's programs are delivered pre-loaded on our MINI MX2 player. Specifically engineered for Sound Therapy, this player weighs just 10 grams and is as small as a book of matches. It has a built-in Lithium Ion battery with up to 10 hours of playback, and includes an AC charger.

It is light, simple, convenient, and capable of of reproducing high quality sound with the full harmonics and high frequencies required for Sound Therapy.

The MINI MX2 comes with quality earphones suited for little ears. These earphones have been specially selected: they are comfortable for sleeping, have softer rubber clip to help them stay on, and the younger children's ones include a volume limiter which enables you to set a maximum volume that cannot be exceeded if your child plays with the volume controls.
