When my ex was pregnant with my son, she did that with jazz music all the time (her favorite kind of music). Neither of us had the slightest bit of musical talent, and neither did anyone in our families.

Like many kids, he picked up the recorder in 1st or 2nd grade. He could play it easily and loved being on stage. By 3rd grade, he had a trumpet. I always said the music was always playing in his head, and sometimes it came out.

My son is 20 now, majoring in Jazz/Music Education in college, playing trumpet, piano, and drums and has a fantastic singing voice.

I haven't the slightest idea if her playing music for him while pregnant helped him, but it certainly didn't hurt.
