Symon Hajjar is the founder and creative mind behind Hot Toast Music Company. In this episode of Magic in the Room, Symon sits down with Hannah and Ben to talk about how music, creativity, and learning can all be rooted in purpose. Symon’s music is focused on kids but is full of “opportunity for wide-eyed innovators of all ages to join in the fun of self-discovery and creativity.”
Hot Toast Music Co. is the product of dad, educator and musician Symon Hajjar who writes irresistible kids’ music, all with purpose. Hajjar, or Mr. Symon as his students call him, draws inspiration from the way children often find magic in the mundane parts of life that are hidden in plain sight. For Hajjar, Hot Toast is not just "kids music" but an opportunity for wide-eyed innovators of all ages to join in the fun of self-discovery and creativity. Hajjar's stellar songwriting skills bring an easiness to talking about difficult or serious topics with kids, as well as delighting in the pure joy children find in simply being silly. Songs are anchored with creative activities that combine the tactile with the message of each song, turning each song into an opportunity for discovery!
