Use classical music to enhance your baby's learning. That's the goal of a new national program that helps parents incorporate music into their child's growth and development.

Sixty-five thousand new mothers will receive a free classical music CD, courtesy of the Smart Symphonies campaign. The music will be distributed through doctors' offices across the country.

The CD features Grammy award-winning recordings of 13 classical pieces.

Research suggests that babies unconsciously respond to the qualities of classical music. This gives them a head start on developing the skills needed for science, math and problem-solving, say researchers.

Dr. John Flohr, Professor of Music at Texas Women's University says that music can help children to think, reason and be creative. He adds that many researchers believe that classical music may be particularly effective.

The Grammy Foundation and Enfalac, a baby formula manufacturer, developed the program to encourage the use of classical music as an infant development tool.
