Children's Programs
For Schools, Home Schools, Libraries, Scout Troops & Camps, Church Schools

Children were born with music inside them. We, as parents and caregivers, need to include music in our lives and share it with our children to help them grow and learn.

Music programs will enhance your child's ability to experience music, keeping rhythms, cooperating with others and remembering words.

Library Program 2

Children of all ages will enjoy a traditional family sing-a-long with Bonnie and the Guitar. She will also bring out the Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer, talk about it's history and show how it's played. Bonnie will pass out spoons and the children will learn how to keep a beat together and then play the spoons while Bonnie plays the dulcimer. The children will enjoy Bonnie's basket of instruments made from nature and will get to see a Limberjack. Parents are encouraged to join.

Beginning Mountain Dulcimer

Our American Folk Instrument
Hands on Class fun for Children or Adults

Usually a one hour class or school class period. Bonnie will bring 30 full sized teaching dulcimers. The children each will get to learn the history of the instrument, see it played then learn how to hold the instrument, strum and play a song in one class time frame.
Bonnie will bring her basket of spoons and they will get to see how the spoons were played and all will learn how to play the spoons as a group.

This class goes well in Schools, Libraries, Summer camps, Retreats or Churches.

As a School Program, Bonnie would sit in a class room and as the class periods change the children would come to her class. This is usually good for reaching all of one grade, From 3rd Grade on up. This program goes well with some 4th Grade music books and their folk music section.
