Programs for Schools,
Libraries, and Community Organizations
Students learn about folk instruments, songs, dances,
languages and legends found within different cultures and periods
of history. During performances students participate by singing in
many languages, dancing and playing percussion instruments. Workshops
and residencies may also include songwriting on environmental, multicultural
or whole language themes.

Children's Songs
and Singing Games
Participatory songs for pre-school through
grade three. Children sing, dance, move, imitate animals, play
rhythm instruments, learn foreign languages, and explore other
cultures through traditional and contemporary children's songs
and play parties.
"Your performance was the best I've seen! The children
had a wonderful time moving, singing and playing the instruments."
-- Heidi Lazdauskas, Music Teacher, Shelton, CT |
Earth Rhythms
From rain forests to recycling, conservation
to compost, Roger travels from our backyard around the world
celebrating and teaching environmental awareness and responsibility.
Fascinating songs, animal stories, legends and facts are accompanied
by the Aztec rainstick, Inca flute, Russian balalaika, African
drum, as well as guitar, mandolin and the North American banjo.
"I really enjoyed your show. It taught me about how
fragile our planet is and that we should keep it clean and recycle."
