Remember how I am always talking about "musical babbling" in class? Here is a little explanation I found in my readings, I hope it helps!
"As early as infancy, as children begin to discover their vocal capabilities, they are making musical sounds. Playfully, they begin to explore sounds with vowels and consonants that they have heard before, extending their duration, repeating them rhythmically and in rising and falling passages. Like the babbling that precedes speech, musical babbling is the vocalization that precedes the performance of melodies" (Moog, 1976).
