Join us on this episode of the Adventures in Learning podcast as we welcome Tiffany Ortiz, the Director of Early Childhood at Carnegie Hall, to discuss the Lullaby Project. This innovative program pairs families and caregivers with musicians to create personalized lullabies for their children, fostering deep bonds and easing parental stress. Tiffany shares the origins of the project, which began in a New York City hospital over 12 years ago, and its remarkable growth to over 60 communities worldwide. Discover how this initiative has expanded to include partnerships with children's museums, integrating the magic of lullabies into playful learning environments.
Listen in as Tiffany shares her vision of making lullabies a universal part of every family's life. We explore the profound impact of creating unique lullabies that express parents' hopes and dreams for their children, promoting a sense of connection and beauty. With a global reach and positive social impact, the Lullaby Project continues to spark excitement and foster community connections. We also discuss how local communities can partner with Carnegie Hall to implement the project, highlighting its flexibility and adaptability. We also discuss the unique ways that the Lullaby Project supports STEAM through engineering words to create beautiful memories. What lullabies do you enjoy sharing with your family? Share your stories in the comments.
