Pre-natal & Baby Musical Communication & Development sessions

Did you know that the prenatal ear is active at 16 weeks? Research shows that the unborn baby can be soothed by music, reacts to rhythmic patterns and pays special attention to the mother’s voice.
Our musical communication sessions are designed to give you tools to enhance communication between you and your unborn baby as a foundation to their lan-guage and emotional development. We utilise music, sound, rhythm and “Mothers Voice" techniques to achieve this. Sessions can be continued after the birth of your baby to go on with laying these developmental foundations. Mothers who have not attended the pregnancy sessions are welcome to still join with their babies as it is a developmental music program with continued benefits.
