Calling all women who used music during pregnancy and/or with childbirth! Next week I'll be giving a presentation in New York City on the importance of music during pregnancy and with preemies and newborns. I've done so much research on the topic that I decided to put together an ebook that I could offer to all women considering pregnancy or currently pregnancy. It turns out that music really does make a dramatic difference in the health of baby and mother and is so easy to implement.
Of course you know that my number one suggestion is always having the mother sing lullabies in her own natural voice. Despite the protests of some mothers that their voices are not "good enough," all of the research and anecdotal reports say that mother's voice is the one that all babies love best. If you think about it, that's the voice they've heard throughout their growth and devleopment and it's the one they most want to hear once they're born. BUT, any live voice is best. CDs and videos are good for mother to learn lullabies and songs to sing but the ideal is for mother to sing.
If you live in the NYC area and would like to have a consultation or a short talk to your group, please contact me through my website, http://www.healingmusicenterprises.com/. I'll be there April 2-5. Also, please send me any of your own personal stories about your use of music with pregnancy or childbirth! Hope to see YOU soon!
