Heather Feather has been teaching for over 25 years and ADORES children. She believes that making music should, first and foremost, be FUN! And active. And a little crazy! Her fondest musical memories are some of her earliest: singing and playing music with her family as a preschooler...and so she enourages families to enjoy and make music together. As a performer, Heather Feather has recently released her first solo album, "Songs for Growing," for which she was awarded two FACTOR Artist Development Grants supported by the Government of Canada and Canada’s private radio broadcasters. "Songs for Growing" has recently been nominated for the 2023 East Coast Music Awards' Children's Entertainer of the Year. This toe-tapping album consists of twelve songs for children ages 0-10 years, and it will have the whole family dancing and singing along. It has been described by CBC's Sonali Karnick as "appealing to kids' intelligence and sense of humour," and has been applauded for it's highly-refined musical quality that engages parents and children alike. As a composer and teacher, Heather writes songs that encourage physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development in children of all ages. Her songs are instructive: there is pedagogical material, or a lesson of some sort, in every tune. This lesson or meaning can be understood at different levels as children grow and develop. Heather was educated at Memorial University of Newfoundland (BMus in Music Theory and Composition), Bowling Green State University (MM studies in Music Theory) and McGill University (PhD in Music Theory), and taught at McGill University. She currently enjoys teaching through her preschool music business WeeJam, through which she services daycares, preschools, and provides "seriously fun" parent and child group classes.
