Lullabies. We all know one. Whether we were sung one as a baby or now sing one to our own children. Often, they're used to help babies gently fall asleep. But lullabies can be more than that.

We hear from Tiffany Ortiz, director of early-childhood programs at Carnegie Hall, about their Lullaby Project, which pairs parents with professional musicians to write personal lullabies for their babies. Also NPR's Elissa Nadworny takes a look at a program inside a South Carolina prison that helps incarcerated mothers write lullabies for their kids. And NPR's Selena Simmons-Duffin examines the science behind a good lullaby.

Felicity Finch reports on a pioneering project that sees members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra working alongside inmates in HMP Norwich. The aim is to workshop, draft and perform personal songs that will help establish a bond between offenders and their children. A lullaby is the most immediate of musical forms. The singer is a parent, the audience a child. The communication is intimate and helps form intangible bonds. A reality of prison life is that those bonds are, to a great or lesser extent, broken. The Lullaby Project, run by the Irene Taylor Trust, is an attempt to create all the positives of that parental link, without undermining the reality of prison life. Felicity has been given unique access through the Irene Taylor Trust, to follow their artistic director Sara Lee. Sara and a group of musicians made three visits to Norwich prison to help the inmates write lyrics and work on ideas for melodies and rhythms that will result in lullabies that can be recorded. The process is rewarding in itself, but it also encourages inmates to reflect on the nature of their relationship with their children, and how they would like to be perceived by them. Similar projects have been tried in both the USA and the UK, but following the pilot this is the first time the media has been given access to the process. Felicity follows the process from the early and very nervous engagement between musicians and prisoners, through to the astonishment and delight at what emerges from the collaboration, a delight felt on both sides.

043 Marika HughesThis is Play It Like It's Music, I'm Trevor. Thanks for listening.On Wednesday, June 10 of 2020 music is not content, it's connection.To play the cello requires a smattering of cleverness and precision on the part of the player. The finger mechanics are complex, the alchemy of the bow is mystifying. On top of it all, gigs require an incredible fitness of nerves and preparation beyond that of many much more renumerative professions. However, mere cleverness and precision do not a complete musician make. Many cellists hit all the marks on their instrument but fail to make an artistic impact, and I feel for them because just playing the cello decently takes a huge amount of effort. Why pile on things like visual aesthetics or political awareness, or god forbid writing, verbal and administrative skills? Singing? Songwriting? Bandleading? Gimme a break.Fortunately, today we have as our guest a musician who brings it on every one of those levels. Marika Hughes is a native New Yorker, a cellist, singer, a storyteller on The Moth. She grew up in a musical family – Marika’s grandfather was the great cellist Emanuel Feuermann, and her parents owned a jazz club, Burgundy, on the Upper West Side. As children, she and her younger brother were both regulars on Sesame Street. She went to Barnard College and the Juilliard School, graduating with BAs in political science and cello performance, respectively.Marika has worked with Whitney Houston, Lou Reed, Anthony Braxton, David Byrne, Adele, Henry Threadgill, D’Angelo, Idina Menzel, Nels Cline, Somi and Taylor Mac, among many others. She was a founding member of the Bay Area-based bands 2 Foot Yard and Red Pocket. She is a master teacher and director for Young Arts and a teaching-artist at Carnegie Hall’s Lullaby Project. Before COVID she was holding down the cello chair at the Broadway show, Hadestown, and we hope they'll pick it back up. Marika puts out a vibe that just won't quit, leading her bands Bottom Heavy and The New String Quartet and as the co-founder and co-director of Looking Glass Arts, an artist residency and youth education program in upstate New York. We get into it: her legendary granddad, growing up and finding her own way in the Bay area, her initial band experiences. We're kindred spirits and I know you're going to love this conversation with Marika.

Moisès Fernández Via is a fabulous pianist, and also the director of the Arts Lab at the Boston University Medical Campus. We met through Palaver Strings, as he facilitated our performances and projects at the Boston Medical Center, including the Lullaby Project. He has a powerful vision for the role of musicians in society, informed by his own journey, and by his work in the hospital.

Adult Friendships (0:00:00) You know the song “make new friends, but keep the old”? Well this was a great little rhyme when you were younger and making friends was as easy as sharing your favorite toy or helping each other do homework. But sometimes as we get older, making new friends where bonds are strong and secure as your old friends is not as common. We have less time, less in common, and perhaps have become even a little close-minded. But adult friendships can be some of the most rewarding and sustaining aspects of our lives. So how can you make friends as an adult? We are talking to Olivia June, the creator of the app Hey! Vina, which is like a dating app for making friends.  Too Much to Do (0:16:42) Stress and lack of balance. They're like monsters crouching just around the corner, waiting to pounce on us if we give them even the tiniest chance. It's so hard not to fall into the trap of sacrificing important things (like sleep!) for more hours to be productive in other areas! What can we do to find balance? With us is Megan McNealy, a workplace well-being specialist and author of the new book Reinvent the Wheel, a look at how top leaders attain well-being and success simultaneously. Professional New Year's Resolutions (0:33:32) With the new year and new resolutions swirling about, what are you choosing to focus on in 2020? Well whether you have or haven't already made goals concerning your work, we've invited Jodi Smith onto the show to talk about the right professional resolutions that will help propel you in your career.    Paradox of Choice (0:49:19) Can there be too much of a good thing? Sometimes trying to figure out which choice to make between two good options can be paralyzing and uncertain. This phenomenon is called the paradox of choice: where too many options can actually be limiting instead of liberating. It's an idea unique to us when we are presented with too many options and we are left unsure which is the best, when perhaps there just isn't a “best”. Here to talk with us about this theory is Dr. Barry Schwartz, an emeritus professor of psychology at Swarthmore College, who has dedicated an entire book to understanding the “paradox of choice,” which is called by the same name.  The Lullaby Project (1:07:24) Have you ever heard of the Lullaby Project? This project helps expectant mothers and parents who want to connect better with their babies and brings them a means to do this through music. Carnegie Hall-performing artists work with parents to create songs and poems for their unborn babies as a gift to bring them closer to their children and each other. We are joined by the Director of Lullaby Project Tiffany Ortiz and teaching artist Jean Rohe to talk about how this project has influenced the lives of many parents.  Accessibility Rights (1:22:31) Wheelchair accessibility is perhaps an issue that maybe not many of us think about, but is a significant part of many people's lives. If you are in a wheelchair, you have to take into account whether where you live, visit, eat, and travel has accessibility or not. These issues can often hold you back. We are here today to talk about how to better educate ourselves on accessibility rights and how that affects the lives of people who are in wheelchairs. We are pleased to be joined by Reveca Torres, an accessibility rights advocate and founder of a nonprofit called Backbones. 

Olivia June talks about how to make friends as an adult, Megan McNealy shares ways to balance our well-being with being productive, Jodi Smith helps us set resolutions at work, Barry Schwartz tells us what happens when we have too many options, Tiffany Ortiz and Jean Rohe talk about the Lullaby Project, Reveca Torres tells us what challenges those in wheelchairs face and how we can advocate for them.

Singing lullabies to babies is an age old practice strengthening bonds between child and carer from the earliest days of life. Can you imagine writing your own lullaby for your baby?

On the Season Two opener of Marti’s Music Kitchen, we’re jazzing it up with acclaimed songwriter and performer, Naomi LaViolette. We’re meeting her high in the lush green hills of the fabulous Campbell Lane Winery. You might recognize Naomi’s music from the national acclaim around her work with Steve Goodwin and the “Saving his Music” project, or about the Oregon Symphony’s “Lullaby Project,” helping homeless Mom’s through music. “We’ve now successfully saved most of his music,” says Naomi, “and it’s kind of neat because it’s like… that’s the battle Alzheimer’s didn’t win. We feel a lot of joy from that. It’s like the light on the other side of the darkness with the disease.” We are on location with Tracy Parks, co-owner of the winery, in the lovely Oregon location. We’re going to figure out what wine goes best with Naomi’s delicious go-to healthy Fish Bowls with homemade aioli and veggies. With three kids and an extremely busy performance schedule, how does she find the time to cook? How do Naomi and Tracy encourage their children to help out in the kitchen? And how did she write her latest hit? Take a listen – and let’s find out! Find out on the next, Marti’s Music Kitchen, on Oregon Music News.com.

On this Season 2 Launch of Marti’s Music Kitchen, the fun music and food podcast where anything can happen, we travel to the lush green hills of Pete’s Mountain in West Linn to the Campbell Lane Winery.

Lay it flat in a baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle with coconut oil, and lay orange or lemon slices on the top. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 or until flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork. To make the aioli, combine the zest of two limes and the juice of 5 limes with the mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Assembling the bowls: Scoop rice into a deep, wide, single serving bowl. Place a serving of fish in the middle, then surround with toppings (chopped onion, cilantro, avocado, black beans, hot sauce). Drizzle everything with the lime aioli. Garnish with a lime wedge. #NaomiLaViolette #Patreon #SavingHisMusic #OregonSymphony #LullabyProject #CampbellLaneWinery #Winery #MartiMendenhall #MartisMusicKitchen #PdxMusic #PDXEats #FishTaco #Wine #foodandmusic #CookingAndMusic #PdxFood

Opera luminary Joyce DiDonato joins us for a conversation about the star-studded album Hopes and Dreams: The Lullaby Project. An outgrowth of Carnegie Hall's Lullaby Project – which pairs pregnant women and new mothers with professional artists to write and sing personal lullabies for their babies – the recording includes contributions from Fiona Apple, the Brentano String Quartet, Lawrence Brownlee, Rosanne Cash, Joyce DiDonato, Janice Freeman, Rhiannon Giddens, Angélique Kidjo, Patti LuPone, Natalie Merchant, Dianne Reeves, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Pretty Yende, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

In a guest episode from our friends from the fantastic 'Above the Basement', RPO's Lisa Rodio and Fraser Gordon talk to Chuck Clough and Ronnie Hirschberg about RPO Resound's community work: including Strokestra and the Lullaby Project. Search 'Above the Basement' in your podcast provider to check out the rest of their episodes.

We sat with Lisa Rodio, Tim Steiner and Fraser Gordon at their rehearsal space in the north of London and discussed why they do what they do and what we can expect from them in the near future. When you mix musical melodies and rhythm with movement and communication, a dose of humor and shared emotion, the result can be nothing short of magic. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, based in London, has been able to make this possible through the work of professional classical musicians along with music scholars, educators, therapists and healthcare providers. They created this experience with amazing programs like Strokestra, and The Irene Taylor Trust 'Music in Prisons' through The Lullaby Project. RPO continues to provide these special experiences to groups around the UK and beyond, as well as to schools with children with disabilities, centers for autism and more. Check out our website for more information on both of these projects.

One of the purposes of a Lullaby, or a cradle song, in some societies is to pass down cultural knowledge or tradition. Brendan Brady has taken that purpose as part of the Lullaby Project to break down cultural barriers to learn about diverse languages and practices by performing lullabies from different countries.

Carnegie Hall in New York started The Lullaby Project in 2011, teaching at-risk Mums how to write and record their own personal songs for their children. Composer Thomas Cabaniss is the conductor who started it all.

Do you sing lullabies to your children that were sung to you? What role do lullabies play in connecting us to our past? Emily Eagan is from Carnegie Hall and a collaborator in The Lullaby Project. She explains the social and historical significance of lullabies.

The Lullaby Project

The Broadway Lullaby Project is a collection of original lullabies and illustrations featuring music by some of Broadway's biggest stars and brightest composers with illustrations by acclaimed children's artists and Broadway set designers. All proceeds from this unique project raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Young Survival Coalition. Joining Kim Thiboldeaux to talk about the project are its co-creator and executive producer Jodi Gluckman and lyricist and composer Michael Friedman.
