On the evenings of February 24th, March 23rd, April 20th and May 4th, we will be bringing quality performers to children with ASD (ages 7 to 13) – focusing on individual skills and talents coupled with audience participation. Local musicians, classical, rock, blues, pop and jazz, will guide children through numerous activities exploring the dynamics of movement and music. Each evening will have a different featured guest artist. First up is singer/songwriter Sahara . Sahara will perform a private concert for the children and share her musical expertise. Breakout sessions will be lead by UT students from the School of Music and the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education. Local musicians will assist during the breakout sessions with songwriting and performance, an exploration of various musical instruments for experimentation and learning, and the integration of music and gross motor movement. The evening will culminate with a concert where those who wish can perform a favorite song with one of our local musicians (perhaps even one they wrote in our songwriting session!). These performances, and other moments from the evening, will be filmed and sent to the parents as a follow-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
