Sing To Your Baby

By Community Music Inc.

This wonderful CD comes with a beautifully illustrated hard cover book of lyrics and contains lovely, simple songs for moms and dads to sing to their babies. This is a gift to your child in so many ways - the gift of music, the gift of your voice in song, of simultaneous verbal and non-verbal communication. The lyrics are just what you would want your baby to hear - loving, caring, often playful, infused with warmth, at all times conveying a strong sense of connection. Since moms and dads often sing in different keys, each song appears twice on the CD, once sung by a man and once by a woman, in two different keys. The instrumentation and arrangements are simple and low key, mostly stringed instrument accompaniment with occasional light percussion behind talented singers. The lyrics are easy to learn, but as the preface in the book makes clear, you don't need to be a singer or know the words in order for this to be a wonderful, memorable, bonding part of your family's life.
