The Playing with Sound Project

My next endeavour as an educator-research is pursuing an inquiry into the tangles of sound, music, and musicality in young children and their educators.

The Playful Podcast
I will never forget the day that I was scouring our early learning documents looking for what they had to say about joy, and I stumbled upon this line from Think, Feel, Act, empowering children in the middle years. “How might you open up tight scripts for action that determine activity too rigidly… [by] watching for a “windhorse effect” (Wien, 2014), that is, activities that generate a whirlwind of positive, excited energy in which children cannot wait to create, participate, and be part of their community, as in the Victoria, owner of Side by Side Consulting Services, is a skilled thinking partner for early childhood educators and brings many rich experiences and wisdom to this 2-part conversation. In this episode, and part 1, we engage is an authentic, reflective, and open conversation to explore our experience with, and our ideas about young children's experiences with art, music, and dance. We discuss parallel practices of play, the importance of building relationships with high quality materials, and the influence of time in getting to know materials such as clay or a guitar. If you're curious about how you can support and honour children's expression through various art forms, this episode is for you! “Home is created and recreated when I pick up and move unearth my roots maybe I’m meant to pass through. I see where I’ve harvested exploded in marketing and places that I am not native to“ (Barton, 2021). Hello fellow educators! Are you an ECE or childcare worker who is or has worked in the Ontario early childhood education and care sector in the past 5 years and is willing to talk about experiences related to your mental health? We want to hear from you! Send me an email at barton@uoguelph.ca to participate in my master’s research Are you an ECE or childcare worker who is or has worked in the Ontario early childhood education and care sector in the past 5 years and is willing to talk about experiences related to your mental health? We want to hear from you! Send me an email at barton@uoguelph.ca to participate in my master’s research Episode 7 is out! What are your thoughts on inclusion and accessibility? Who have you talked to about these topics? Whose perspectives are missing from conversations? Check out my family’s perspectives in this episode where we started a conversation about inclusion but realized we needed to ask my sister, Sandy, for her perspective. Sandy lives with Down Syndrome and in episode 7 she generously shares her opinions and ideas about prom, which is just one example of how accessibility shows up in our lives. Kim, what have you been doing all this time instead of creating this podcast?? I've decided that I wanted to more openly share some of the journey I've been on in terms of questioning, shedding, and challenging the colonial frameworks that I operate within the systems of oppression that I benefit from. I haven’t been on this journey very long but I’ve taken it very seriously. I’ve also tried to bring all aspects of my life aboard this relearning process.
