Easy-to-Use Tools Ideal For Transforming Classroom Culture

Some teachers play a video each morning to set the tone for the day and focus attention on themes like kindness and respect. Others use upbeat videos to transition between lessons when students need to get the wiggles out. Some classes use these songs to encourage mindfulness, and the tutorial videos are a tremendous resource for teaching students how to play the songs on ukulele (especially for teachers who aren’t musical themselves)

Educators Praise the Positive Impact:

“As a Principal and educator for 32 years, I can honestly say Rik Leaf is one of the best I have ever worked with in the school setting," affirms Sheldon Steele, Principal at Dr Kearney Middle School. "His unique strength to draw out the introvert and get them to create masterpieces is amazing.”

Deborah Reid, Principal at Chief Sunrise Education Centre, echoes this sentiment: "Rik's ability to engage our students is unmatched. He inspires them to express themselves creatively and embrace positive risk-taking."

Rik's Unique Expertise Blends Music and Education:

More than just a songwriter, Rik is a seasoned arts-in-education specialist. As a member of Tribe of One, a collective of Indigenous and settler artists, he's collaborated with the Foreign Affairs Department of Canada and the United Nations, empowering youth in war-torn countries.

“Teachers often struggle to find engaging resources that resonate with students," shares Leaf. "These songs were written with English, French Immersion and Indigenous students from across the country, creating a unique multicultural tapestry."
