musical taste Q: Why do we like some music and not others? A: Our musical tastes begin to form in the womb. By 12 weeks, the fetus has a completely functioning auditory system and is able to hear music through the amniotic fluid (it sounds something like listening under water). One-year olds show clear preferences for music that they heard in utero.

Just as there are "critical periods" for language acquisition, there appear to be critical periods for the acquisition of music listening.
