REVIEWS
"The songs are clever. Many capture the universal experience of
being so small and perceiving the world in such an immediate and
imaginative way…"
- Sherilyn Draper, Director/Writer (Glendale, CA)
"I played the Polly Pelak song 'Are We There Yet' for my preschoolers
today. A third of the way through the song they were bouncing
on their butts and singing along. They felt they "knew" the song
even though it was the first time they heard it…The children begged
me to 'please bring that song back again'…High praise from 4 year
olds."
- Jorie Hannan, Pre-school Teacher (Beaver Dam, WI)
"The lyrics were right on target concerning the interests
of a child that age...the child's vote is securely on your side!"
- Pamela R. Pelc, Ed.D. (Winston Salem, NC)
" The CD is awesome. (Our 5-year-old) listens and is
singing along now on her CD player. Her mother and I still laugh
at the lyrics as they are right on the money...(our daughter)
sounds just like Polly..."
- Jim Conti, DJ (York, ME)
"…We got our copy in the mail and our little Emma (4 yrs old)
already has dance routines made up for half the songs and Andrew
(2 yrs old) enjoys singing 'Are We There Yet?'…"
- Kim, mother of two (Waunakee, WI)
THE ALBUM ART CONTEST
The Polly Pelak Workshop is, in part, a "kick-off" event to introduce
our newly created character named Polly Pelak. Following the premiere
workshop, young audience members were asked to try their hand
at drawing a picture of our mysterious new friend Polly, who was
be described in some detail during the course of the performance.
Select artwork appeared on display at the Beaver Dam Area Art
Center and drawings of four child artists actually found a place
on the final layout of Polly's very first CD entitled, Polly
Pelak is…5 and a half.
THE WORKSHOP
The mission of the Polly Pelak Song Workshop is to introduce
and provide opportunities for self-expression through the craft
of songwriting. The workshop is a fast-paced, hands-on, interactive
exploration that culminates in a live presentation of fun and
spirited "on-the-spot" creations.
PRODUCER'S NOTE
We developed the Polly Pelak Song Workshop to encourage the creative
spark in all of us. Our goal is to capture the innocence and "pure
energy" of childhood as we lead you on a journey of wonderment
and discovery. It is our hope that through this workshop, children
of all ages will embrace the opportunity to express themselves
through music, movement and song. We feel it is only fitting that
we begin this journey by introducing a new character that truly
radiates curiosity and purity, as only a 5 and-a-half-year-old
can. So begins the story of Polly Pelak.
