MY CURRICULUM
MAGICAL MUSICAL EXPERIENCE
My goal with my classes is to stimulate a child's creativity by using their imagination as well as their inspiration.
During my years as a performaning musician,I have gathered many instruments from many corners of the globe..Indian, Asian, Cambodian, African, Austrailian, English, as well as American instruments make up my collection that I share with the kids.I have put together a program where I demonstrate how they are played, and the child gets a hands on experience for themselves. Its always a big hit with them.
Along with this, we sing, and play interactive songs, including all the classic kid songs they know and love, while I accompany myself on the guitar, banjo, mandolin, and ukulele. I also delight the kids with my family of puppets for inspired fun and silliness.
The variety of the presentation always engages the children and keep their attention, resulting in fun for all!
ART WITH MUSIC
This the newest class offered by Mr.STEVE. Here the children are exposed to some of the famous paintings of the masters, and then we share the artwork together, and have fun and talk about what inspiration is and how to use your imagination and your inspiration to create your own art.
Then it is time for the children to express themselves.Whether we set up easels and draw, or we lay out one big sheet of paper on the floor and create a group project,the kids have fun expressing themselves while I play music to inspire them to their artistic greatness. It's always fun to watch the children move to the music as they create their masterpieces.
Since the start of this program, there has been quite a lot of positive feedback from the children as well as the teachers and parents. The concept of being inspired by one art form to create another,is a good lesson to teach children at an early age. I look forward to engaging and entertaining your child!
