A PARTICIPATORY CONCERT FOR PRESCHOOL AND PRIMARY GRADE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Bonnie presents interactive concerts for children and families in
libraries, schools, and community centers.  For over thirty years, she
has developed a dynamic repertoire which feeds Songs & Music Games
from Around the World, her ever-changing show for pre-school and primary grade children

Designed to maximize children’s participation, her shows feature
sing-along, clap along, move-along activities with folk songs from many
countries and cultures including Jamaica, Japan, Nigeria, Nicaragua and
the United States. 

In addition to a wealth of folk songs, Bonnie’s own original
materials lend a distinctive vitality to her presentations.  She
encourages children to sing, dance and fingerplay their way into the
joys of music.  Kids and families cooperate and collaborate in singing
games, call and response chants, story-songs, and on-the-spot rhythm
bands.

Accompanying herself on guitar, ukulele, keyboards, and percussion,
Bonnie sings with irresistible enthusiasm.  With a repertoire rich in
cultural diversity, she entertains while nurturing the seeds of
children’s self esteem.

This program can also be adapted for babies and toddlers, as well as for family concerts with children of all ages.
