Over the last three years, musicians from Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute have developed the Lullaby Project, in which mothers living in challenging circumstances have the opportunity to write and record a song for their babies or very young children. As of spring 2015, more than 150 lullabies have been created in hospitals, correctional facilities, shelters, programs for teen parents, and other settings where young families face challenges every day. The purpose of this music-based intervention is to initiate or encourage and support the bonding process, to support parents' aspirations to create the family they want for their children, and to harness their creativity as a tool for imagining and building future possibilities.
