Group sessions take place at various locations across Sydney.
Parent and baby lullaby groups
I run parent/caregiver and baby lullaby groups (up to crawling) providing a calm and supportive environment for parent and baby. Absolutely no singing experience is necessary, just an openness to share in this beautiful and nurturing realm of parenting.
Song of Kin
We explore and create your own special lullaby for your baby. Any song or melody line can be recreated into a lullaby by modifying the timing, mood and lyrics, really making it your own. The key is to feel a connection with the song that you are singing. This is known as creating a Song of Kin. Virtually anything can be adapted into a lullaby for your baby!
I also share and teach lullabies from many countries and cultures that I have collected over the years, either a capella or with the support of the guitar. The power and repetition of the bedtime lullaby ritual will also be explored.
Premature babies and their parents
I also run smaller groups for parents of premature babies, providing the opportunity for parents to meet and share, listen to others and to sing! Parents will have already been on a long and challenging hospital journey. This area is of special interest to me.
No need for any singing experience or ability to read music – any current opinions that you may have about your own voice, whether good or bad, will be irrelevant in this setting!
