We know that babies prefer their mother’s voice to any other. A mother’s voice is most soothing because it is most familiar. Singing to your baby will not only promote comfort and rest, but it will enhance the bonding experience and support healthy attachment. Because some moms (and dads) are uncomfortable singing, or perhaps don’t know many lullabies, we’ve created this CD as a lullaby “trainer”, if you will. In the first eight tracks, you hear Elisabeth sing the verses, and then hum them, providing you an opportunity to sing along with the music. The CD is effective on it’s own, but your baby will get the maximum benefit from hearing your voice. The final two tracks allow mom time to reflect on the joys and challenges of motherhood. A Perfect Lullaby is not just a collection of music; it is an experience, and one we hope you and your baby enjoy immensely. "This is a wonderful CD. My 3-yr-old requires it every night. She loves all the music (and so does her Mommy)" - Ginny D. This CD incorporates a vast amount of scientific research into an ideal recording. Every element is carefully considered, from tempo and instrumentation to the structure of the songs. We use many traditional lullabies that have proven themselves over the ages. We also include two original compositions, and hope you enjoy those as well. "I am in love with 'A Perfect Lullaby' CD, even at my age! It is such a soothing collection of sweet lullabies and Elisabeth Tinnes' voice is such a joy to listen to, no matter if you are playing it for your baby or for yourself! It is such a great CD for ALL ages." - Rhonda H. Singing to your baby enhances the attachment experience. We know that secure attachment between mother’s and their infants leads to many positive outcomes, such as better social and emotional skills, greater academic achievement, and higher self-esteem. Singing to young ones also promotes the development of language skills. These are all good things, right? Yes! The unfortunate fact about society today is that singing has become so “professionalized”. Moms and dads believe that if they don’t sound like the contestants on American Idol, then their baby doesn’t want to hear them sing. Nothing could be further than the truth! This CD teaches and supports caregivers as they interact with their child through song. The musical characteristics will promote rest and relaxation, something that can be hard to come by in all the stress of raising children. "A Perfect Lullaby is a calming and lovely listening experience for the parent and the infant that encourages singing or humming along to create a peaceful closeness."
