About Us
At Classical Cradle™ we firmly believe that our "classical piano lullabies for little ones" will not only benefit baby, but also parents-to-be and new parents. That's why we've developed a soothing classical piano music CD dedicated to you and your little one.

For Baby:
There is a wealth of research over the past 25 years proving the connection of classical music and overall increased intelligence, brain function, creativity and health. Infants exposed to the tranquil refrains of classical music have been able to develop stronger - both physically and mentally. The long-term effect of music is powerful. It adds richness to life that is beneficial to baby in so many ways. The short-term effect - to soothe, comfort and lull baby to sleep.

"Music does more than entertain children, it shapes their minds." Dr. Frances Rauscher

For Expecting Mom:
Baby feels expecting mom's anxiety and tranquility. Listening to serene classical music can help relax mom-to-be. And, in turn, soothe baby.

"We have evidence that if expecting mom relaxes for a few minutes each day - whether by listening to music or reading - her developing baby is sure to do the same."
Dr. Janet DiPietro, Johns Hopkins University

About the Creator of Classical Cradle™
The cornerstone of Lisa's life is music. While pregnant with Lisa, her mother played the piano routinely with the intentions of teaching Lisa someday. However, she never realized that someday would be so soon. From the age of three, Lisa has been playing the piano. And the tranquil tones of the piano keys haven't stopped since. "Music, especially the soothing refrains of the great classics, helps me to relax and enjoy life to the fullest," says Lisa. "I consider myself to be very lucky that music is such a powerful part of my life, especially from the very beginning. My aspiration is to give to the new children entering this world the same gift I received. The gift of music."


Music is the core of life.
We hear it.
We feel it.
We live it.
It moves us to tears,
It leads us to laughter,
It keeps us in harmony.
But music doesn't come from outside.
Music comes from within,
From within each one of us.
Without it, our hearts would be lifeless,
And our worlds would show no color.

That, dear parents, is the power of music.
The power to penetrate our minds, bodies, and souls.
Fill your homes with it,
And feed your baby's mind.
Enrich it.
Strengthen it.
Stimulate it.
And allow your little one to grow
From the gentle stream of music in the air.
