Use of music for anxiety in children

The "Baby Go to Sleep" CD played a combination of the sound of an actual human heartbeat and children's songs. The concept behind the "Baby Go to Sleep" CD is to blend heart beat sounds, which are known to be calming to infants and children, with children's music. The basic principles of relaxation were incorporated in the arrangements of heartbeat and children's songs, ie: simplicity, repetition, predictability, and simple symmetry (short repeated patterns). The adult human heart in the "Baby Go to Sleep" CD was recorded from the chest and set in consistent tempos for each song ranging from 62 to 78 beats per minute(BPM). The sound of the heartbeat continued between and during songs. Tempo changes occurred between each song.
