What is Baby Song?

A great summer outreach program!

Jul 16, 2012 1 comment
"Baby Song" began as a Salvation Army initiative in Sweden, and quickly spread to both Norway and Denmark in the early 90's. It has since been picked up in other countries as well, including The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, The United States, and has now come to Canada and Bermuda.
Baby Song has been successful in reaching un-churched families in many places. It is more than just a program - it is about relationships and fellowship. It is about making a positive impact, through music, singing and dancing.

This resource book has been put together specifically for the Canada and Bermuda Territory. Parts of the material have been translated and adapted from Swedish, Norwegian and Danish materials. Captain A. A. Margareta Ivarsson played a vital role in starting "Baby Song" within The Salvation Army, and much of the original Scandinavian material is her work. It includes the following chapters:
"Music Matters ... A Developmental Perspective"
 - written by Captain Lori Miller - who holds a degree in Child Development);
"Link To The Corps" - details on how to connect your participants
"Getting Started" - suggestions for running the program
Budget ideas, Session Planning, Forms, Post Card template, sample Certificates and more.
And best of all - it includes a Song Book, complete with over 100 songs for infants.

    I have run the Baby Song program on two occasions and plan to do so again in the fall! It is a great connection with Moms and their babies! I love to see the faces of the babies when you sing to them. I use some of the techniques from when I used to teach Music for Young Children. I'd be happy to give info if people would like it.
