With Paul Behnke
Songs that educate and inspire children
|
 |
Singing, Learning and Laughing is a 45-minute presentation of songs that educate, inspire and entertain primary and junior aged children. Students are treated to a dynamic show that includes lots of audience participation. Paul Behnke draws from his experiences as an elementary school teacher when he performs such original titles as "These Are The Vowels," "The Days Of The Week," "The Seasons," "Opposites," and "A Friend To The Earth." To enhance the experience, Paul performs with pre-recorded music tracks, which add the sound of a full band.

Our Parent Association looks for quality "edutainment" to bring to our children, for a live concert experience. Paul has an excellent rapport with children of all ages, and performed 2 concerts for us. Each was geared for the appropriate level--jk-3 and gr 4-6, with about 185 children in each concert. I have received nothing but positive feedback from staff, students and parents in attendance. Staff were especially pleased with the action songs and educational content. It made learning fun. Paul is easy to work with and the fundraising option is a great opportunity - especially after the concert.
