High and Low

High and Low
High and low pitches are basic elements used by the speaking and singing voice. As we speak the rise and fall in pitch, or inflections, can initiate different responses from Baby.  Research has discovered that exposure to high sounds plays an important part in maintaining alertness and energy required for learning. There is a tendency to need more sleep, be less active, and get ill more often when high-pitched sounds are removed from the environment.

Home Acitivty suggestions:
Use a wide variety of voice ranges as you talk to Baby. Notice the response between using a voice that is animated with wide ranges of high and low and a speaking voice that stays in the lower register.
