This spring, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, an ambitious partnership brought together the Entrepreneurship Center for Music, CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 Rene茅 Crown Institute, 麻豆影院 Community Health, Children's Hospital of Colorado and Carnegie Hall. The Lullaby Project paired new parents with musicians to create a personal lullaby for their new baby, forming strong parent-child bonds and fostering early childhood development. In the face of social distancing, coordinator and master鈥檚 student Grace Law says the project evolved into something even bigger than originally planned. 鈥淲e were able to do everything virtually,鈥� she says. No longer bound by geography, organizers used Zoom video conferencing to work with more than 30 families from across the country to brainstorm ideas for the lullabies, while professional audio engineers and innovative technological tools made it possible for student musicians to record the original works at a distance. 鈥淭he fact that we could draw on all of the skills we learn in school and turn that into something that serves the community was really rewarding,鈥� Law says. She adds, as the only university currently partnering on the project, the College of Music鈥檚 innovative approach drew interest for its ingenuity.
