Subject:  Baby's music fondness, was: Pollster de-lurks


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.
