La Música Es Mágica/Music is Magic
This spirited bilingual sing-along celebrates the magic of music with songs in Spanish, English and American Sign Language. Greta plays guitar and invites volunteers to accompany her on an interesting collection of percussion instruments, tailoring her commentary and songs to the grade levels and major language of the audience.
America’s Story through Folk Songs
Celebrate America’s rich heritage through such songs as “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” “16 Tons,” “Polly Wolly Doodle” and “This Land is Your Land.” Learn the stories behind these songs that reflect the everyday experiences of our ancestors. Greta plays dulcimer and guitar and is accompanied by student volunteers on the washboard and spoons. Her repertoire is customized for grades K-2 and 3-5.
“We have never seen 4th and 5th grade boys enjoy music the way they enjoyed yours.”
