Will and Seeka bring their entertaining musical show to the stage to engage young kids through sing-along choruses in English and French, actions and movement. Will and Seeka are accompanied by a talented band in this energetic and educational show, which features songs about colours, days of the week, weather, food, animals, family and friends, the alphabet and movement. Kids will leave the show with these joyous songs in their hearts and a skip in their step. Will and Seeka — of Will’s Jams and Seeka Sings — are nationally recognized musicians and educators who both have a passion for music, languages, and childhood education. During the pandemic their shared understanding of the power of music and teaching languages brought these two songwriters and parents together to create fun, unique, and relevant musical resources to support French and English language learning. They collaborated to produce two albums, "Will et Seeka: Amis avec tout le monde" (WCMA nominated), and the English version, "Will and Seeka: Friends with Everyone.“ “Toute l’école a aimé le concert de Will et Seeka! All their songs are catchy, relevant to the children’s lives, and fun to sing. Students easily memorized the fun songs and were super excited to sing them at the concert. Merci beaucoup for one of our favourite days this year!” — Stacey Sveistrup, Vice-Principal, Vancouver Will Stroet (Vancouver), of Will’s Jams , is a JUNO-nominated musician, a nationally recognized educator, former CBC Kids TV star, and a father of two awesome girls.
