Growing Naturally
This is a lyric video we are using to learn a new song we wrote with Michael Atkinson’s Division 10 and Starla Bob (Kushi Opi Mani Wi). Soon the students voices will replace mine and we will publish a full video.
Rainbow Rhapsody
These Are The Animals The First People Know
This song has a lot of words but our Kindergarten students seem to learn them quickly. They are especially enthusiastic singers after watching an episode of Raven Tales. Soon we will have a version with children’s vocals.
I Am a Salmon Fry
This is a demo video using footage grabbed from uncopyrighted Youtube posts. I hope to film my own video with students of Queen Mary Elementary with help from an Artstarts grant. The audio is also in demo form. The recording of the children’s voices was very hastily done. New tracks and mixing with less prominent instruments will come with the final video.
Canada 150
I said to the class, “Canada is 150 years old”. One child raised his hand and said, “That doesn’t sound right. There’s gotta be more. What about the First Nations? What about the Dinosaurs?” Another precocious 8 year old said, “Well, politically…” Then we wrote this song.
20 other Canada 150 songs can be found on the Lieutenant Governor’s “Sing Me A Song” site.

Thank You Very Much
Mrs. Miles asked me to write a thank you song “for everything we do”. This was written in the next 10 minutes. At our school we sing it even more than “Happy Birthday”
