Music making a difference
Dear Academy of Sound community,
In this newsletter, we highlight a special musical project led by AOS Director of Education and voice teacher, Keith Hampton: The Lullaby Project.
We also catch up with former AOS student and instructor, Hannah Best.
Keep warm and keep practicing!
The Lullaby Project pairs pregnant women and new mothers and fathers with professional artists to write and sing personal lullabies for their babies, supporting maternal health, aiding child development, and strengthening the bond between parent and child. Around the world, the project reaches parents in healthcare settings, homeless shelters, high schools, foster care, and correctional facilities.
Produced and directed by AOS teacher Keith Hampton, The Lullaby Project CD will be released on March 28, 2020, at the Overture Center in Madison. A live performance of music from The Lullaby Project will be presented that day for free, in three special Kids in the Rotunda shows.
