Children's Folk Music in Canada: Histories, Performers and Canons
Children’s Folk Music in Canada: Histories, Performers and Canons ANNA HOEFNAGELS Abstract: In this paper the author explores the origins, growth and popularity of prominent children’s performers and their repertoires in English Canada from the 1960s-1980s, arguing that this period saw the formation of a canon of children’s folk music in Canada.Various factors that have supported the creation of a children’s folk music canon are highlighted, including the role of folk song collectors, folk singers, educational institutions, media outlets and the role of parents in the perpetuation of a particular canon of folk songs for children. ike many adults, I was rather uninterested in children’s music until I be- Lcame a parent. However, since the birth of my children, my family has been listening to and watching various performers who specialize in music for children. I am not unique in my piqued interest in this repertoire after the birth of my children; indeed many parents seek to provide a musical environ- ment for their children at home, both through songs and lullabies they may sing to their children, and by listening to commercial recordings made for young children. Early music educators recognize the importance of music in the development of young children, and the particular role that parents can have on their child’s musical development; as researchers Wendy L. Sims and Dneya B. Udtaisuk assert: Early childhood music educators stress the importance of pro- viding rich musical environments for young children. The intro- duction to MENC’s National Standards states, “The years before children enter kindergarten are critical for their musical develop- ment,” and infants and toddlers “should experience music daily while receiving caring, physical contact” (Music Educators Na- Hoefnagels: Children’s Folk Music in Canada 15 tional Conference, 1994).

In Our Own Image: the Child, Canadian Culture, and Our Future
IN OUR OWN IMAGE: THE CHILD, CANADIAN CULTURE, AND OUR FUTURE CAROLE H. CARPENTER Foreword Originally published in 1996, the following text was presented as the ninth annual Robarts lecture when I was the John P. Robarts Professor of Canadian Studies at York University for the academic year 1994-95. It was well received and excited considerable commentary given that it was perceived as a radical gaze on contemporary childhood. Yet little came of it in terms of any concrete action; indeed, the position of children and their culture within Canadian culture has, if anything, worsened. More children are now living in poverty than in 1996; children are more controlled and manipulated than ever; they evidence increased passivity (through escalating youth obesity, for example); and anger dominates their environments as never before. Hence, the call for a new vision of child and childhood is all the more necessary today in order to offer them a chance at a future they own. A generation ago, the social historian Peter Laslett noted that: In the pre-industrial world there were children everywhere; playing in the village street and fields when they were very small, hanging round the farmyards and getting in the way, until they had grown enough to be given child-sized jobs to do; thronging the churches; for ever clinging to the skirts of women in the house and wherever they went and above all crowding round the cottage fires. Given such ubiquity of youth, it is not at all surprising that the "perpetual distraction of childish noise and talk must have affected everyone almost all the time." An estimated forty-five to fifty per cent of all people alive in Stuart England were children, according to Laslett's figures which, as he indicates, accord with circumstances in twentieth-century third world communities.
