About Babysalmsang in English

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. 

Babysalmesang in English is for free.

Some words from Nina about babysalmesang:

Babysalmesang has a special place in my heart. I went to classes with my daughter when I was on maternity leave and was deeply moved by the positive effect music and movement in the church had on all of the children and parents. I signed up for the certification course as soon as I had a chance and have been teaching classes in Danish in various churches in the Copenhagen area since then.

When: Each Monday 9.30am. Last date before Christmas is the 16th of December 2024 (there are no Babysalmesang during school vacations).
