Jay will happily tailor his presentation to meet your needs, but you can start by asking about any of these very special programs:

SPECIAL FOR LIBRARIES, in tune with the 2020 collaborative summer reading theme, “Imagine Your Story,”  Jay’s “Sing Your Story with All Around This World” program is an interactive global music adventure that will inspire kids and their families to boldly explore the world by singing and dancing along to magnificent multilingual songs. The program takes kids and their families on a global adventure as we “travel” musically from continent to continent, singing songs from many cultures, using music to tell their tales with humor, heart and hope. All Around This World’s classes and concerts for kids average 40 minutes and are great for infants-in-arms to 9 year-olds.

Jay will join you, your friends and all your young children in your living room, community center, school or homeschool classroom for a one-of-a-kind participatory music class. Sing, dance and move around the room as you and your children meet the world through music. We can travel musically to any or all continents. Do you want to meet a particular part of the world?  “The music and movement of South Asia?” “The many rhythms of Africa?” or should we focus on one country, culture or experience — “Learn to Dance the Ethiopian Eskista.” “How (and why) to dance a Maori Haka.” “Let’s have a Son Jorocho Fandango…!” Talk with Jay about your interests, ideas and needs. We can go ANYWHERE. Check out All Around This World’s musical regions and ask Jay to focus on your favorite. (each class is approximately 40 minutes, up to 15 families per class, classroom space permitting.)
