Rebecca Redmann is the Teaching Artist Coordinator for the Lullaby Project at the Overture Center for the Arts. She explained the process and demonstrated a few musical creations that were the result of musicians and songwriters collaborating with new and expectant parents to create a unique and expressive lullaby for their children. It starts with a letter from the parent to the child (to be read later by the child as an adult) expressing the parent’s hopes and dreams for the future. Teaching artists who are singer-songwriters then take the sentiments expressed and words used to create a personal lullaby for the child. The resulting lullaby is a musical keepsake that is uniquely compelling, special, and timeless in strengthening the parent-child bond.
