Review & Description
Musicians and authors Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer have been innovators in connecting families through music for over 25 years, and their newest collection Sing to Your Baby, gives parents eleven new love songs and sing-plays to further develop that special bond with their children. Different from a traditional lullaby album, or other children's recording intended as entertainment, Sing to Your Baby features a 32-page beautifully illustrated book with an audio CD that acts as a coach for parents, grandparents and others who want to sing to encourage communication with their babies. Parents can choose from eleven original sing-plays, including Love Is What I Feel You For You, Little Bitty Boat, Baby's Got a Giggle, Pretty Little Baby,and Rockin' My Baby; Additionally, Laura G. Brown, Ph.D., psychologist and educator, has written a Parent Guide for the project that includes a glossary of terms and valuable tips for how to develop your baby's learning skills and foster their developmental transitions. Fink and Marxer have seen the power of music in the lives of children and their families and know the positive effects, and they're not alone. More and more studies are emerging that show how singing to your baby can improve communicative skills in ways that previous methods haven't for years. A Letter from Sing To Your Baby Creators Cathy & Marcy Dear Mom, Dad, and Other Wonderful Folks Who Will be Singing to Your Baby, As life-long singers, songwriters and musicians, we have seen the power of music in the lives of children and their parents. Having a new little one in the house is a time of joy and wonder. Parents want to do everything they can to bond with their newborn and to strengthen that bond as their baby grows. One of the best ways to create a mutual bond is to Sing To Your Baby. In thousands of family concerts over more than 25 years, we have heard parents say, I wish I could have sung to my baby, but...- and for one reason or another they didn't. So, we have designed a program for all parents, grandparents and others in a new baby's circle of loved ones. With our help, you can hold your baby and sing away - by singing along with the CD. Singing can be an elemental communication tool that will last for years to come by using music together for fun, developing new skills and as an ongoing expression of love. As we experimented with the project, we found expectant parents who wanted to start singing to their baby in the womb. There were siblings who sang to the baby along with Mom or Dad. Some adorably sang to their baby dolls while a parent sang to the baby. There are so many ways to use the simple concept of songs sung from the heart (and sometimes from the ticklebone). Share with grandparents, caregivers, aunts & uncles and god-parents. And most importantly, take your time, turning this into a daily activity. The rewards as you Sing To Your Baby will last a lifetime. -Cathy & Marcy Read more
