Thread Name: BS: Folk Music for Babies
Subject: RE: BS: Folk Music for Babies
The youngest member of our band joined before she was born, rocking in rhythm. Once born, she would sleep blissfully through rehearsal, except when she would wake completely cheerful and at home among us, and coo on pitch. By the age of walking she was dancing in front of the amps, playing rhythm instruments in perfect time, with no need for supervision... as long as we played, she did.

At home her daddy plays guitar and sngs to her constantly, hymns and blues and all sorts of stuff. Her mom, who refuses to sing with us but has a wonderful voice, no doubt sings to her when no one is looking.

We gave them several Wee Sing tapes/books, to add to this, because they have been so helpful to me in the past with daycare kids when that was what I did to make a living.

And my own prebirth music inputs were part of surviving.
