About:

Timmy has been performing in schools since 1977, and his engaging concerts have been praised by educators in 21 states as truly educational and entertaining cultural arts events. For three decades Timmy has collected a repertoire of traditional and original music and stories from which he creates programs appropriate for any age group.

K - 2: this is a time for kids to play mostly, and learn in the process - and that is the way Timmy's concerts are designed for the younger set. So much research is showing the positive influence of music on children's brain development and learning ability, and almost every aspect of this program is engaging and participatory with that fact in mind. From the very first song, children (and teachers) will be using their arms for hand motions, their bodies for rhythms, and their voices for singing. This program is fun! Children learn about the banjo, listen to the hammered dulcimer, laugh with the dancing man, dance sitting down, drift with their eyes closed to the penny whistle, and sing from their hearts. No two concerts are ever exactly alike.

Timmy's repertoire of songs for young people is time-tested, and though some favorites make frequent appearances, like The Unicorn Song or The Farmer's Market, Timmy chooses songs randomly for their immediate appeal to the audience at hand. With eight musical instruments and a big pocket full of songs, poetry and stories, it's the sheer variety of material in Timmy's concerts which keeps young students happy for a good long time. Even with the modern pop culture begging for their attention, elementary school students easily fall into the charm of good folk music. It is a simple, and immediately accessible form of expression which stimulates their imagination and stretches their boundaries.

Timmy's 3-5 school concerts are highly educational while maintaining an atmosphere of fun. Programs are designed with a focus on information, music appreciation, cultural awareness and participation.
