Elements That YOU Touch

Singing, baby, bonding, nurture, loving, developing musical foundation, comforting, parenting, cultural, Zoltan Kodaly, folk song, heritage, positive connection, lullabies, nursery songs, nursery rhymes,memories, common singing, musical ability, sharing, neurochemical brain connection, Oxytocin, you are the instrument, voice as an instrument, a cappella, unaccompanied voice, retro, prehistoric, green, recycled, head voice, vocal range, and confidence.

I wanted to get that out of the way, all the elements that YOU touch “when you sing with your baby”.  Really, maybe some of these words or concepts seem far-fetched but honestly I believe there are many more. Am I speaking of the scientific, or the primal intrinsic nature of singing with your baby, either or both?  Which is more important to you, just doing it because it feels real and honest, or do you personally need a scientific reason?  Both avenues come to the same conclusion…just do it, sing to and with your children.

I hope this begins a dialogue about what it means and how to go about singing, you with them, later them with you.
