Strengthening families and communities through music
Our Flagship Program: The Lullaby Project
In partnership with Carnegie Hall and Living Grace Homes, Notes with a Purpose brings the internationally acclaimed Lullaby Project to Las Vegas. This program pairs new and expectant mothers facing homelessness, poverty, or other challenges with professional musicians to write and record personal lullabies for their babies. These lullabies become cherished keepsakes, strengthening the bond between parent and child while fostering hope, healing, and self-expression.
The first Las Vegas Lullaby Project sessions are set for January and February 2026, with professional musicians collaborating alongside select UNLV faculty and alumni students.
