Wild Duck Dancing at Guilford Free Library,  Summer Reading show, Creatures of Nature and Magic!

Welcome to my Family Music page!

I play my fun and interactive originals with a few classic and contemporary  favorites in my live show. My shows which are geared for families with pre-school to elementary school age children (although I have also seen middle school age kids rock out during shows!). 

My shows:

The Stupendously Wonderful Music Show

A mish-mosh of fun songs with lots of audience participation!

Creatures of Nature and Magic Show 

A fully interactive music show which interweaves songs about mythical creatures like sprites and gnomes with songs about our animal kingdom friends. Let's face it- nature can be as mysterious as mythical creatures like fairies and trolls!! And as always there will be lots of opportunities for kid participation!

 Where I perform:

Libraries

Schools

Pre-schools

Town concert series

Summer fairs and festivals

Private parties.

I am available to play in any setting or venue which provides entertainment for children and families. I sing, play guitar and ukulele with the goal of maximum audience participation. There are always some educational components that I sneak into each show!

“Songs range from instructive to just plain Fun; from ladybugs to gnomes, you’ll learn something while playing and singing along!”  From a parent who attended a performance of the "Creatures of Nature and Magic" Show



Why Children's Music?

  As a children’s entertainer, I continue to see what music, particularly live music, gives to children (and their parents as well!).

  Participating in musical activities helps children express themselves, build confidence, and  connect with others for an enhanced sense of community.

  I recall one performance at a library where I noticed two little boys (brothers) seated quietly at the beginning of the show. After a song or two their feet were moving to the music; next, they were clapping along, and then singing. By the end of the show, both were out of their seats dancing, singing, and fully participating in the movements of the song. It was a joyful process to witness, one that has stayed with me and reinforced my passion for engaging people, young and old, in music.  

  Music brings out our humanity and touches that place in us which is universal. It helps us learn more about who we are and what we feel and allows us to share that with others. To quote Victor Hugo: “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent”.
