Gan Ilan Studios presents: “Deep Inside My Heart” - a collection of popular songs at Gan Ilan Preschool!

Earlier in the year, Liz came to me after one of our weekly all-school Havdallah song sessions and said “it sounds like I am listening to a CD!”. As the music teacher at Gan Ilan, I get to hear our kids sing in small groups, as a whole school, and as individuals and I am amazed by their confidence, creativity, and love for music. Capturing their sound on a CD, was an exciting process for the kids. For a a few weeks in a row, groups of kids would come to the “music studio” and choose which songs they would like to record. Recording was a new experience for them, as it required more focus, listening, and patience than the normal classroom music session. When singing along with another recorded track, they were faced with challenges of rhythm and pitch, and were able to match their own voices to what they were hearing. The real reward for them was to listen back to their voices immediately after recording, and watching the sound waves move across the screen.

“Why do the waves get really big there?”
“Is that us?”
“I hear my voice!”
“I can’t wait to go home and practice for tomorrow”

This CD was recorded by Maya Abramson and students in the Oranim, Arazim, and Alonim classes at Gan Ilan during the 2015/16 school year. All of the students in these classes had the opportunity to participate in this project and took part it deciding which songs to record. You may hear a "yawn", "giggle", "sneeze" at some point in these recordings, and these sounds reflect the authenticity that children experience when involved in music. When editing this CD and adding extra vocals, I chose to keep in extra sounds, words, and breaths and was inspired by the kids to let go of little imperfections in my own voice and guitar playing.

These songs were recorded for the students and families of Gan Ilan for educational purposes and are free but you are welcome to donate with your download, and all proceeds will benefit Gan Ilan. The suggested donation is $1.00/song, or $8.00 for the entire album.

I hope you and your children enjoy this CD and continue to bring music into your home!

Peace, Love, and Music,

Teacher Maya
