Music stimulates our emotions, from a relaxing piano sonata to energetic dance rhythms, a good tune can instantly change a mood.

A new study now suggests that good vibrations from music provide a health boost to premature babies.

Live music played to preemies seems to promote growth; slow the infants heartbeat, calm their breathing, and improve sucking and sleeping.

Therapists found live performances are better than recorded music because preemies can feel the music’s vibration.
 
Many hospitals already offer a form of live music therapy in their newborn intensive care units.
