1st Trimester

Babies, and music?

Will any of you play music for your babies as you become farther along in your pregnancy? If so, what kind?

Do any of you play instruments? And do you plan on teaching your child the instrument that you play when they become old enough?

I play piano, and my father plays piano (among many other instruments). So, I'm sure if I don't end up teaching my child for whatever reason, I'd bet my dad will take that responsibility. It's in our blood!

I haven't listened to much classical piano in awhile, but definitely want to get back into that, and begin to expose my unborn child once I know he/she can hear me.

Re: Babies, and music?

  • I'm a music teacher, so my child will definitely play an instrument. I don't plan on playing music for the baby while it's still in me...I would feel strange doing that.

    That's awesome that you are a music teacher. I don't mind wrapping a pair of headphones around my belly so they can hear it. And I gotta' get them into Beatles music early on, you know.. That's what my dad did for me and my sisters!

    Oh, that's great! Thank you very sharing that. I wonder if my dad bought any of those for my little brother when he was a baby. He's four now. Even  would listen to that...

    **ALSO**

    Since I'm going to request the upcoming remastered edition of all the Beatles albums, maybe I'll include that into my Christmas list for baby..

  • i'm a singer and teach voice, so i will definitely sing to my baby (i think everyone should!)  and i will probably teach him/her how to sing if they seem interested.  i plan to play music for my belly and sing (well, either way, when i teach, the baby will hear me sing while in my belly).

    Well, I cannot sing, but I DO sing. Poor baby won't have a choice... I guess I will try to keep it to a minimum. Haha. I'd like to try and write a lullaby on my piano for him/her.

  • I <3 the Beatles...I want the new Rock Band so badly...

    I guess I figure that I'm surrounded by music on a daily basis so I don't want to overdo it.

  • Yeah, I think I will be playing music to the baby as I become farther along. And as for instuments I played clarinet in middle school but haven't taken it out and played it since the end of high school so teaching him/her the clarinet might be a little hard lol.
  • I plan on playing the child music as well when I get father along, silly as it is or not. My husband is an amazing guitar player and plans on showing our little one how to play as early as possible, boy or girl. I melt when my hubs does it so I can't even imagine hearing your child play.
