Why does my 1 year old cry when I sing?

According to Psychology Today, the baby's reaction to Mom's singing might be the result of something called “emotional contagion.” Essentially, humans are hardwired to absorb and reflect the intense emotions around them — a reaction that Dr. Siu-Lan Tan describes as “essential to social functioning.”

Baby is brought to tears by mom’s soulful singing: ‘One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen’

In The Know by Yahoo

A mom’s beautiful singing voice brought her baby to tears, and the emotional footage is pulling heartstrings around the world. Posted by the TikTok account @spiritual.realm, the video gained over 206,000 views and nearly 4,000 comments. Now, just like the little boy who wept uncontrollably the second he held his new little sister, this baby’s tears are touching hearts all across TikTok. In the video, Mom and baby are in the middle of mealtime when she begins to sing “Good Good Father” by Chris Tomlin. At first, the baby simply looks up at Mom and smiles as she sings — but eventually, his little face begins to grow contemplative and emotional, almost as if he can understand what she’s saying. Eventually, the sweet baby’s eyes fill with tears. He listens on, completely enraptured, as the tears roll down his chubby cheeks. According to Psychology Today, the baby’s reaction to Mom’s singing might be the result of something called “emotional contagion.” Essentially, humans are hardwired to absorb and reflect the intense emotions around them — a reaction that Dr. Siu-Lan Tan describes as “essential to social functioning.” Almost immediately from birth, babies observe and mimic the expressions of those around them. This mimicry develops emotional synchrony, which helps them develop social skills and emotional intelligence. And while this scientific explanation may sound a little cold, Dr. Siu-Lan Tan feels it strengthens the magic of such a video. “In my view, it may be even more remarkable and more compelling to think that what we are witnessing may not just be the power of the human voice and singing — but a window into how deeply and powerfully we are moved by the emotions of those around us, even in our earliest interactions,” she said to Psychology Today.

‘ Where words fail, music speaks…’

The video clearly sparked emotional contagion in the viewers at home, judging by the thousands of heartfelt reactions in the comments.

Do professional musicians know music theory?

Most musicians know music theory and you can kind of see it in the way they put together their songs especially if they're professionals like instrumentalists or technicians.

visible.edu - Is Music Theory Hard? A Candid Overview

Music theory isn’t that difficult. However, people who struggle with theory the most might be holding on to the idea that they should be able to play music without having to learn it.

Makes Learning and Playing Easier

Some people are simply against theory and have this view that they were just born with it. Learning music theory is a wonderful thing and helps you to play even better. Musicians constantly think about music theory in everything they play because it allows them to learn songs faster, retain musical information and it makes everything logical.

It’s A Part Of Musical Language

You wouldn’t want to be a professional writer without learning any grammar, would you?

It’s essential to learn music theory. Think about everything in life where you know you have to learn the rules. You wouldn’t want to be a professional writer without learning any grammar, would you? In the Rock n Roll era, around the 1950s, we were idolizing musicians that claim they were just born with talent without any training and it’s not very true.

Makes For Better Songs

Most musicians know music theory and you can kind of see it in the way they put together their songs especially if they’re professionals like instrumentalists or technicians. Take the band Green Day – their music isn’t all that technically complicated, but they do know enough theory to know what chords and scales work together to produce songs.
