Saved by the power of music

Professional musician Robin Spielberg says music saved her son’s life.

In 1998, Spielberg was pregnant with twin girls when she suffered complications.

An emergency cesarean was performed during the 22nd week of pregnancy.

Valerie was born weighing only 20 ounces and was the size of a can of soda.

A kind nurse put her thumb on the scale and recorded her weight just enough to make her eligible to receive medical support.

She couldn’t bring her piano, so she played CDs for her daughter.

Valerie’s health continued to improve after months of music without medical attention.

People have been using music and rhythm to heal since ancient times.

One study of 272 premature babies showed that vital signs can not be improved through interactive sounds and music therapy.
