As an educator, musician, and world traveler, Dr. Hal uses instruments and artifacts collected from frequent world travels to deliver the message that listening to the sounds people and cultures choose to make is key to understanding them. Enthusiastically delivered, the message is profound and entertaining. Students participate in a series of excercises which allows them to discover the variety of ways sound functions to express human feeling. This program integrates language arts, science, social studies with music, dance, painting, woodcarving, maskmaking, etc.
Presentations encourage children to become careful listeners and responsible soundmakers.
Appropriate for all age levels.
