This study explored how singing lullabies to babies impacts on first-time mothers' perceived coping and experience of mothering. Eighteen first-time mothers participated in a six-week lullaby intervention program. Data comprised of detailed diaries kept by the mothers over the six weeks in addition to semi-structured interviews with the mothers, pre and post-intervention. Results suggest that lullabies benefit mothers by relaxing and calming them, distracting them from other stressful thoughts, enhancing their experience of the bedtime task and enhancing their perception that they are good mothers. Results indicate that mothers' experience of the bedtime task and her transition to motherhood may be enhanced through singing lullabies to their babies at bedtime.

This paper explores the special type of thinking, moving and dancing place which is opened up for decolonisaton when students engage in an embodied pedagogical practice in Indigenous education. The author examines what decolonisation means in this context by describing the ways in which the curriculum, the students and teacher, and more generally the discipline of ethnomusicology itself, undergo a process to question, critique, and move aside the pedagogical script of colonialism in order to allow Indigenous ways of understanding music and dance to be presented, privileged and empowered. Key questions are: What is the relationship between embodiment and disembodiment and decolonisation and colonisation? In what ways is embodiment more than, or other than, the presence of moving bodies? In what ways is performativity an aspect of power/knowledge/subject formations? How can it be theorised? What could the pedagogical scripts of decolonisation look like?
