Aubrey Atwater - Traditional Music for Children

Ideal for families with children ages 6-and-up. Aubrey Atwater, half of the acclaimed folk duo Atwater-Donnelly, presents a captivating program of original and traditional folk music for children performed on the guitar, Appalachian mountain dulcimer, Irish tin whistle, and old-time banjo.

Drawing her repertoire from original songs, as well as those collected in New England, Ireland, Appalachia and beyond, Aubrey emphasizes participation as she jokes and interacts throughout the show encouraging folks to sing, dance, clap, use body movements, and even play instruments when possible.

This fun-filled show answers questions such as What is folk music? What did people do for entertainment before electricity? and How was folk music used in daily life and work?
