What is the difference between a lullaby and a nursery rhyme?
assistant
A lullaby is a song that is sung to soothe or comfort a baby. It is usually a simple melody with a repetitive refrain, often in a minor key, and typically uses a single melodic line. Nursery rhymes are similar, but they tend to have more complex lyrics and may include multiple melodies. Lullabies are traditionally sung by mothers to their children, while nursery rhymes are often sung by children to each other.
