MUSICIANS would usually be disappointed if their audience fell straight to sleep upon hearing their latest music - but Catherine Rannus has written music especially for children and babies to help them relax.

Catherine, 35, of Snow Hill, Dodworth says she's done lots of research into how frequencies can have a soothing effect on brain waves. 

She has also written songs to help focus children at other times of the day, such as the Welcoming Song and the Tidying Up song, which she has written for the children at the Kabuki nursery at Berneslai Close.
