I used to sing and vocalize while holding my rather high-maintenance infant daughter - she would be calm if I had a nicely supported and resonant sound, but squirm if I lost concentration or vocal focus. My own personal vocal coach. On the other hand, she's almost 6 now, and my voice has grown to the extent that it can hurt my own ears in our living room. She'd rather go and watch tv. But sometimes a gentle "Caro mio ben" brings her to fold in my arms, and remember the lullabies of her infancy. john
