Info for Lullabies from my class

Here is the info for the music we used today in the lullaby class. These are the resources I used. I think Jeanne Brady is a GENIUS and she makes wonderful music, not only this lullaby CD but lots and lots more. The other CD is the only modern version I could find of an old LP my mother has. The recording is not as great, but you only need to listen to it a few times to really get the melodies in your head. Sing sing sing to your child! :)

Also, you can find some articles here, here and here are some articles about WHY music (and YOU singing it to them as opposed to just listening to a recording) is good for them:


AND as a bonus to ALL the mamas out there, I'm doing a little promo for nursing portraits:



Just you and your baby, we'll get some beautiful images. The discount only applies those who book by Sept. 1st (sessions can take place AFTER that date, but you must reserve your spot by then). Having recently had pictures taken of myself nursing E, I can only tell you how glad I am to have them. It is such a HUGE part of a mom's life, and it can be documented so beautifully!

Excuse me if you are not looking for suggestions, because I am giving you one anyway. You don't have to use it, I just wanted to share it with you.

Jewel has a lullaby album. I haven't listened to most of it, but I really really really like one on their called "Sweet Dreams"

Alisha, your photos on Kiera's blog are beautiful!

I wanted share with you a site that my children and I have really enjoyed: http://www.artsreformation.com/records/ It's a ton of old children's vinyl albums - not all necessarily lullabies but still very fun, that have been made into MP3s. Plus they are free! There's a link on the bottom of the page to a couple more similar pages in different sites.
