Music in Schools

A seasoned performer with children, Les brings a car load of acoustic musical instruments to your school, introduces each instrument with some of it’s history, and sings songs that capture and hold the attention of K-6 students for 55 exciting and entertaining minutes. One music teacher from Ohio describes it this way:

“Your program was just wonderful!! You are bringing back the folk music all children should know and love, and do it in such a fun way that the children can’t help but love it!!”

It’s a great way to introduce students to some of the variety of folk instruments in the American tradition, as well as challenging them to work cooperatively and creatively to make their own musical entertainment. Students are involved in the presentation through questions, encouragement to sing and by joining Les on stage to providing rhythmic accompaniment on a variety of songs.

Instruments include:
guitar, autoharp, mandolin, mtn. dulcimer, banjo, bowed psaltry, fiddle, ukelele, jew’s harp, bass, harmonica, spoons, & limberjack.

Also available for day-long residencies in your school, which could include smaller group presentations with question times and an evening concert for families. This presentation is very appealing for special intergenerational events, such as grandparents days. The music touches all generations for a fun group activity.
