The theory is that Mozart’s compositions were very mathematical and can improve spatial-temporal reasoning, which in turn should benefit the child with improved counting and writing abilities as he/she gets older.

The alleged “Mozart Effect” is a myth. Research on this topic has never verified any long-term benefit to anyone’s intelligence by listening to Mozart or any other classical music.
Wouldn’t it be great if it were that easy to increase intelligence! Think of it. All our babies would turn out to be geniuses!
