In the pregnancy book I’m reading "The Pregnancy Bible" they said the baby can hear your voice at about 18 weeks and outside sounds at about 24.

Some researchers think that babies can "hear" at about a month.

A baby’s ears begin to form at around eight weeks and become structurally complete at about 24 weeks. But as early as 18 weeks, the bones of the inner ear and the nerve endings from the brain have developed enough for your baby to hear sounds such as your heartbeat and blood moving through the umbilical cord. He may even be startled by loud noises! For the rest of the pregnancy, sound serves as a baby’s major information channel.
By week 25, your baby begins to hear your voice — and your partner’s — and may even recognize those voices as early as week 27. Sounds may be muffled, though, because the ears are still covered with vernix, the thick waxy coating that protects the skin from becoming chapped by the amniotic fluid.

I think I read at about 4 months

I was told the baby can hear you around 19 weeks and hear outside sometime in the 20’s weeks. So cute! xx
wondering says
The average is about 4-5 months. Before they even hear the music they can feel it.

I guess the others have answered your second question :) To address the song ideas question, I’d suggest Fur Elise. It’s very pretty and very simple–if you can play Moonlight Sonata, you’ll be able to do Fur Elise standing on your head. Another simple but very pretty song is called Farewell to the Piano and you might like that too.
