Dr Anita Collins
By Esther Bertram -

We
were really excited to have the opportunity to interview Dr Anita
Collins and present her latest book “The Lullaby Effect” for this
edition of Heart. Beat.

brain development and music learning. She is internationally recognized

student. Over the last two years Anita has interviewed close to 100

films ever made.
In her latest book, "The Lullaby Effect"
Dr Collins dives into the science of singing to your
child. With the emergence of new neuroscientific and psychological
research, we now know more about the power of music and how it assists
in your child’s cognitive and physical development. But does it matter
what songs you sing, or if you sing in tune, or if you move or don’t
move when you sing? The Lullaby Effect helps answer all those questions
and more and is ideal for parents who want to understand how singing
impacts their child’s development.
