It\u2019s \u2018infectious\u2019<\/p>\n
This is the second time that Musicopia has come to the Please Touch Museum for the Lullaby project. Sean Evans, the Please Touch Museum\u2019s Museum Learning Coordinator, called the program infectious.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s almost, like, hypnotizing,\u201d Evans said. \u201cYou don\u2019t even know you\u2019re reaching that state. It was so funny. We were just humming and singing, repeating words, and then they started incorporating body movement, and the next thing you know, I\u2019m doing things with my hands. I don\u2019t even know what I\u2019m doing, but this feels so wonderful. It really is just such an incredible program.\u201d<\/p>\n
Musician Lia Manaker, who played the piano, has worked with the program before, but was excited to share it with her 3-year-old daughter for the first time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love how people can surprise themselves, that they can write a song that speaks to them, that feels like a real song,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m hoping that the process of creating and making music connects the people in a way where they feel like \u2018I can do this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Nathan Rifenburg, Musicopia\u2019s program director, said that parents often come into the room a little self-conscious.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first they\u2019re like \u2026 \u2018I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m not really musical. I don\u2019t think I can do that,\u2019 he said. \u201cBut I think as they discover that connection that they actually then have, and there\u2019s this way to express their love and a format that is really vulnerable for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s \u2018infectious\u2019 This is the second time that Musicopia has come to the Please Touch Museum for the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":381686,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,1448,2830,1311,182743,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-381685","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-pa","10":"tag-pennsylvania","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-please-touch-museum","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115556120353652170","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
