Drum & Song with Miss Elizabeth
Saturdays, 9/20, 10/18, 11/22
11:00-11:45 AM
Ages 4+
No Registration required.
Elizabeth will share a variety of small percussion instruments as she leads call and response rhythms, encourages improvisation in a drum circle setting, and will teach an array of songs that everyone can play along to. Some songs learned will be simple African folk songs, others Brazilian and some that everyone will know from the United States. Elizabeth's style of facilitation is light, fun and festive. Her joy of sharing music with families is vital to her sense of community.
Elizabeth loves balancing performing with teaching. She has held many residencies as a teaching artist at schools, summer camps, and private classes in NYC with the American Composers Orchestra, and JazzHouse Kids.

Whether it is performing stories & songs with his one-man band, or performing with interactive theater companies Trusty Sidekick or Live-In Theater at Lincoln Center, Park Avenue Armory, or the New York Historical Society, or finally in a classroom as a teaching artist leading his game based music workshops with New Victory Theater or Brooklyn Music Factory, getting the participants to play is always the top priority. With his background in Early Childhood Education, it’s a treat for the youngest ones to hear him bring stories to life.
