I recently gave a musical presentation to a local preschool. It was a blast, so many good questions and quotes from the audience! Like, after guessing the animals in one song, someone yelled out “we have very large brains”. Of course they do!
While I was showing them the accordian, and letting them hear how it sounded, a girl in front raised her hand and said that it looked like a trumpet… I said “Really?” eyebrows raised… she replied, “a square trumpet!” Wow, nice perspective, I love it.
They were definitely enjoying the fun we had. In all, I played acoustic guitar, stand-up bass, banjo, ukelele and kazoo, and I closed with accordian. For the last song, I played a song the preschoolers were all familiar with (that they sing in the school regularly anyway) – This Little Light of Mine. It brought down the house – if you can do that at a preschool! Everyone was singing along.
So, I will be doing this again I am sure, and if you’re reading this and know of a school that would like a visit, give us a holler.
I captured it on video and have uploaded a clip of the part of the presentation with the ukelele and kazoo. Give it a watch, its fun.

Great job, Scott – I didn’t know about the “jumping fleas”!
[…] them a presentation 2 days in a row.  I recorded it and posted a short video clip on Soundzania here .  The presentation went over real well with the kids and I’ve been getting reports of kids […]
Hey Scott,
I love the preschool concert! My girls would love it too, so let us know if you are ever in the Lima area 🙂
