Our Playschool: Dancey Dance Floor: Recording Session 1

WE STRIVE TO SEE THE WORLD FROM A KIDS-EYE-VIEW

Bellwoods Playschool uses a child-centred, socially conscious pedagogy to engage young children in social and artistic thought and action. Using what the city has to offer, we empower our students with the knowledge to be socially and environmentally responsible citizens while they develop into explorers of their urban landscape.

WE THINK OF THE CITY AS OUR CLASSROOM

A valuable aspect of the Bellwoods Playschool program is to empower children as navigators of their city. We journey on regular excursions, by foot and by public transportation, to art galleries, museums and cultural events, as well as markets, parks and city landmarks.

WE KNOW ITS TAKES A VILLAGE

Our Playschool runs on a model that links a range of artists together to engage and inspire children. We like to bring in different perspectives and actively pursue a diverse teaching staff. As such, professional educators and artists trade chalkboards for personal anecdotes and textbooks for real life experiences. Together, they create an atmosphere that is at once intellectually stimulating and deeply personalized.

Dancey Dance Floor: Recording Session 1

We started recording our new song with our music teacher! The boys were excited to use equipment that they don't normally get to handle. They also liked singing into the mic. The bass line and some singing parts were prerecorded then the boys sang their parts in and jammed over top of it. They added some percussion and synths, which will be edited and put into place.
