About the event
Billy Jonas believes that creating a bright future starts with children. Using homemade and recyclable "re-percussion" instruments, songs that celebrate community as well as personal and planetary ecology, his think-outside-the-box performances occur around the country. The goal: to plant musical seeds that will help grow creative, open-minded, engaged and open-hearted citizens of the world. Allied Arts is offering a pilot program with this renowned artist.
The program will be 2 days and will offer Morning and Afternoon sessions. Morning sessions will be from 9 AM to 12 PM and afternoon sessions will be from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. The two morning sessions will be with the same group of campers and he will work with another group of children both afternoons (same afternoon group each day). The age range for this program is 5 - 11.
An outline of the program is as follows:
-FIRST DAY: At the beginning of each session (AM and PM) Mr. Jonas will start with a short concert followed by a recycled instrument making workshop.
-SECOND DAY: The sessions start with a sing-along, using the instruments that the campers made the day before, followed by a songwriting session where the campers learn to play as an ensemble as they sing their song.
