Lullaby Project pairs Philly caregivers with musicians to compose original songs for their kids

Cynthia Robinson ran Mrs. Cynthia’s Munchkin Romper Room, a family day care center in Germantown, for more than two decades. She taught nursery rhymes and the ABC tune to dozens of children — including her granddaughters, 3-year-old London, who lives with her, and 15-month-old Zain.

But it had never occurred to Robinson to compose a song herself — not until she joined the Lullaby Project, a six-week free workshop that pairs professional musicians with parents and other caregivers to create and record an original lullaby, which they receive as an MP3.
