Vetted Program: Jack Pearson
Provide an interactive musical experience that bridges music and stories to children of all ages. Enhance musical enjoyment through age-appropriate song and dance. Increase access to educational and family-friendly music. Encourage children to include more music in their daily lives. Reinforce the idea that libraries are places to experience cultural or arts programming.
Many of the students want to learn more about the instruments Jack plays. 22 of them came up to the table to look at them. 95% of those surveyed would come back to the library for another performance.
Almost all the children raised their hands when asked if they would see this program again. They loved all of the different instruments and Jack's interaction with the audience.
71 of those surveyed wanted to learn more about the instruments and songs Jack played. 65 students would see the same program again.
"The cost and time to bring him to town was worth every penny!" The participants felt it was the perfect presentation to encourage children's reading at all levels.
