What is Babysalmesang?

Babysalmesang (in English: baby hymn singing) is a hugely popular musical activity for babies and new parents in Denmark, with weekly classes hosted by churches throughout the country. It is an opportunity for you and your baby to:

- Enjoy music, movement and rhythm together

- Share a playful and stimulating experience

- Learn songs and hymns in the beautiful church space

- Meet other local parents and babies

 

At ‘Babysalmesang in English’ we sing a beautiful selection of seasonal hymns and children’s songs in English. Don’t worry if you are not a confident singer – your voice is your baby’s favourite! We also use simple dance moves and actions, as well as handheld musical instruments, to stimulate rhythmic awareness and share the joy of making music together. After the class there is always tea, coffee and the chance to chat.

 You don’t need any prior knowledge or experience to take part.

Everything we do in ‘Babysalmesang in English’ classes is designed to suit babies up to the age of 12 months.

The new ‘Toddler Music Time’ classes in Vesterbro build on the Babysalmesang tradition, but are tailored to suit the educational needs of children aged 1-3 years, as they are becoming increasingly active and are developing their motor skills, alongside their linguistic and musical awareness.
