The First Sounds Rhythm, Breath, Lullaby method adds music therapy to neonatology to promote healthy outcomes for premature infants and their caregivers. This lecture includes live music applications of the trans-natal environment focused on rhythm, timbre, and tonal inter-uterine elements to foster comfort, stability, nurturance, safety, and self-regulation for premature infants.
