A significant part of the dialogue centers on the developmental advantages children gain from early exposure to music. Berg emphasizes that since birth, individuals are constantly processing auditory information, and early musical experiences strengthen their perception of rhythm, melody, and tonal patterns.
He elaborates that such exposure is not only beneficial for children but also shapes adults' lifelong relationship with music. For instance, Berg himself is a former Wiggle Worm—in his case, starting at around one year old—which influenced his decision to pursue a career in music and music education.
