Eric Nagler, challenges students and teachers to discover unique sounds and rhythms by making music together! Using traditional jug band instruments such as banjo, fiddle, spoons, Jew’s harp, musical saw, washtub bass and assorted home made instruments, Eric organizes the audience into a serendipitous orchestra of music and merriment. Only in this delightful musical canopy, created by the irrepressible Eric Nagler, can everyday household items such as spoons, tin cans and plastic bottles transform into bongos and rattles. Audiences are catapulted into a new musical environment, complete with clapping, singing and discovering rhythms inherent in themselves.
Students are encouraged to bring their homemade instruments to the performance.
