A Perfect Lullaby
This album was in development for about two full years. An enormous amount of research went into it, with the goal of creating “the perfect lullaby cd”. Here’s the cool part – what makes it perfect? It’s interactive.
Think of it like a “karaoke” CD.
We know that babies want to hear their mother’s (or father’s) voice, right? So Elisabeth (also a music therapist) sings each song through a time or two, then just hums the tune to provide melodic support for a caregiver to sing along. Lyrics can be found in the CD jacket.
The accompaniment is very simple, and the tempos were all carefully chosen so that they facilitate sleep and attachment. Read on to learn more, and of course, let me know if you have questions.
Your baby wants to hear YOU sing. This CD helps you do it!
P.S. This makes a great gift 😉[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Research shows that babies prefer their mother’s voice to any other. A mother’s voice is most soothing because it is most familiar. Singing to your baby will not only promote comfort and rest, but it will enhance your bonding experience and support the development of secure attachment. Because some moms and dads are uncomfortable singing, or perhaps don’t know many lullabies, we’ve created this CD as a lullaby “trainer”, if you will. In the first eight tracks, you hear Elisabeth sing the verses, and then hum them, providing you an opportunity to sing along with the music. The CD is effective on it’s own, but your baby will get the maximum benefit from hearing your voice. The final two tracks allow mom time to reflect on the joys and challenges of motherhood. A Perfect Lullaby is not just a collection of music; it is an experience, and one we hope you and your baby enjoy immensely.
This CD incorporates a vast amount of scientific research into an ideal recording. Every element is carefully considered, from tempo and instrumentation to the structure of the songs. You will hear many traditional lullabies that have proven themselves over the ages. You will also hear two original compositions, and hope you enjoy those as well. Singing to your baby enhances the attachment experience. Developing secure attachment with your infant leads to many positive outcomes, such as better social and emotional skills, greater academic achievement, and higher self-esteem. Singing to young ones also promotes the development of language skills. These are all good things, right? Yes! The unfortunate fact about society today is that singing has become so “professionalized”. Moms and dads believe that if they don’t sound like the contestants on American Idol, then their baby doesn’t want to hear them sing. Nothing could be further than the truth! This CD teaches and supports you as you interact with your child through song. The musical characteristics will promote rest and relaxation, something that can be hard to come by in all the stress of raising children.
