Every baby deserves a song.

The Lullaby Project pairs new and expecting parents and caregivers with professional musicians to write and sing personal lullabies for their babies. This national initiative supports maternal health, aids early childhood development, and strengthens the bond between parent and child through the universal language of music.

The Lullaby Project is a program of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute and is brought to the Atlanta community through the Alliance Theatre.

Where to Find Us

We believe in meeting families where they are. Whether you are looking for a creative outlet with your toddler or navigating the first days of parenthood in the hospital, the Lullaby Project is here for you.

Community Impact: Grady Memorial Hospital

In an essential expansion of our mission, the Alliance Theatre is proud to bring the Lullaby Project to the Grady Memorial Hospital NICU. Through this partnership, our teaching artists work directly with families in the neonatal intensive care unit, providing a sense of connection, comfort, and creative expression during a critical time in their journey.

About the Program

A Legacy of Connection

Originally offered as a focused class at the Alliance, the Lullaby Project has grown into a cornerstone of our family wellness programming. By creating a unique piece of music for their child, caregivers nurture their own well-being while building a lasting musical keepsake.

Rooted in Research

Creating and singing lullabies has been shown to:

  • Support caregiver and maternal mental health.
  • Enhance parent-child bonding and attachment.
  • Foster language and brain development in infants.
