Where Your Classroom Meets the Main Stage
Collaborations connects artists with your classroom to co-create an original song with your students.
Past collaborators include acclaimed Canadian artists Shakura S'Aida, Elise LeGrow, Royal Wood and The Good Lovelies. If you're teaching in a traditional classroom, we can tailor a collaboration to fit your needs.
