Bertles, John	Bash the Trash!	Music, Nature- Environment, Science	Our introductory auditorium show - a combination of science, music and environmental awareness, introducing the basics of sound, vibrations and instrument design as well as providing a tangible example of the Reuse portion of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” Thrill to the sounds of the Straw Oboe, Bendjo, and Singing Bowl! This show can be differentiated for the youngest students to the oldest - K-12 and beyond. We seriously recommend that you group your students by age (Grades K-2, 3-6, 6-8, 8-12, for example) so that we can better reach out with age-appropriate music and demonstration. In optional follow-up classroom workshops participants will build musical instruments from their own “found-object” materials and perform with them. Excellent connections to summer reading, environmental programs, music and science book programs.	$501- $1000
Roben, Terri	Insects are Incredibly Interesting!	Music, Nature- Environment, Science	Through music and song, we will find out the difference between an insect, a bug, and a spider.

But mostly we will have lots of fun exploring through music and some puppets how interesting this huge family of creatures is!	$101- $200
Lipton, Zachary	Zack Lipton Quintet - Jazz Performance and Workshop	Music	The Zack Lipton Quintet is an active performing and recording unit in New York's vibrant Jazz scene. Formed in the fall of 2005, the Zack Lipton Quintet is a collective of musicians committed to dismantling popular notions of the boundaries between musical idioms. The band uses original compositions as a vehicle for synthesizing its members' eclectic tastes without compromising the integrity of any of its influences. Drawing from influences as diverse as John Coltrane and Stevie Wonder, the band performs music that is both intellectually and artistically advanced while remaining culturally relevant. Performances consist of performing mostly original works as well as some inventive takes on standard repertoire. Sets can be as short as 45 minutes and as long as 90 minutes. Between tunes, Zack will generally introduce the band and also provide commentary suitable to the level of the audience to contextualize the songs played. The Quintet can also participate in Question and Answer sessions and/or clinics with student bands before or after performances.	$501- $1000

Clough, Geoff	Cookie Songwriting	Music, Performing Arts- Other	Cookie Songwriting is where I teach children how to write songs using cookies! I have a treble staff table with a cookie treasure chest. I call a child up to let them pick a bag of 5 cookies to use in creating their own song. Placing them on a line or space as I direct them along regarding high notes, low notes, etc. When they have their cookies/notes down I copy them over onto a musical inspiration pad (manuscript paper) and play them back their melody. Then I set to creating the harmony & note lengths. I ask the child/children what styles do they like? Country Rock, Ska, Hip Hop, etc. Then I will play the song back to them in that style. The children love it and most start to dance to their own song. Afterwards I help the child name it & I give them their sheet music with their name on it & copyright year. :)	$101- $200
