Several folk instruments including the fiddle, guitar, autoharp and ukilin are used in this program. Many songs are well known and students are invited to join in the oral tradition. This program paints the history of the Civil War through music. Songs from both the North and South focus on melodies that gave the soldiers the courage to fight, laugh and express their religion. Participants are encouraged to join in on many of the familiar songs from this period.
Adolescence is a very difficult time.
Through fun and thought-provoking discussion and music, students are given tools to think about who they are and how they will respond to pressures in their lives. Life skills of goal setting and dealing with peer pressure are examined as ways that will point us in a positive life direction. This is a total music program designed to be fun, up lifting, and encouraging. Folk songs are participatory, and children and staff are encouraged to sing along. If you don't see anything on this list please give me a call and we can talk about your needs and other programs that can be created especially for you and your students.
