Vetted Programs – 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
The results from all children interviewed were positive. About 3/4 of the children said they would see this program again and would go to a program like this in the future. All the children said they would come back to the library for another program. When asked what was their favorite part of the program, several responded, "The jaw harp!" The children expressed interest in learning how to play some of the instruments that Jack played. Many children purchased some of the smaller instruments for sale after the program and seemed inspired to go home and make music on their own.
