Welcome to Lullaby Project Pittsburgh

Fostering Love and Connection Through Collaborative Songwriting

Who We Are

The Lullaby Project, a project of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, pairs new and expecting parents and caregivers with professional artists to write and sing personal lullabies for their babies, supporting maternal health, aiding childhood development, and strengthening the bond between parent and child.

Lullaby Project Pittsburgh was initiated by flutist Claire Gunsbury and a team of fellow graduate students at Carnegie Mellon University. In our very first year we’re excited to be carrying Carnegie Hall’s mission to our Pittsburgh community and partnering with some amazing community organizations.

"We learned about the healing power of music and got to experience it firsthand through this project... They gave me the confidence to sing."

We're proud to share that Lullaby Project Pittsburgh was recently featured in the news as one of the first projects in the country to connect a health system, Allegheny Health Network, and an academic university, Carnegie Mellon.

Collaborative Songwriting

We completed training with Carnegie Hall’s Lullaby Project staff and Carnegie Mellon's College of Fine Arts Assistant Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Valeria J. Martinez.

We're all about exploring how to celebrate and hold space for all the things we experience as humans.

Trauma-Informed Care

Our group of artists received training from Pittsburgh-based OB anesthesiologist, Dr. Tracey Vogel. She shared valuable information about the neuroscience of trauma that gave us the skills, awareness, and empathy to work with our parent partners.

Songwriting Sessions

Where the Magic Happens

Songwriting sessions are a fun way to interact with other expecting and new parents through music. We start with a group song or activity and then break out to work on individual lullabies.
