Lullaby - first steps to the world of music

Abstract

The article is devoted to the lullaby, a unique piece of music that has developed, in the semantic and musical layers, the characteristic features of a highly emotional style. Scientific research shows that the lullaby is a song recognizable for its function all over the world, and that babies react to it more strongly than to the mother's speech. The article attempts to indicate the place of the lullaby in the musical education of children and parents as well. Difficulties limiting its use were also indicated, which are related to the disappearance of the transmission of folk culture, the lack of making music at home, as well as the shortcomings of formal music education.
